  • The world didnt seem to like us too much when Clinton was in power either.

  • Where do you get that idea?

  • September 11th, 2001. Somalia.  USS Cole.

  • If you were paying attention, 'the world' rallied around the US on 9/11. We had a tremendous goodwill - all lost within two years.

  • Way back in the Washington State caucus, as a group of voters in my district crowded around the table to make the case for our candidate, the woman next to me read an email from an ex-pat friend of hers in Paris. Her friend had written that from Paris, people were saying that Obama was the hope of the world. I agreed then. I agreed now.

  • Yeah - the world is rooting for us. The Republicans would like us to believe the world is a big old scary place that hates us - that's not my experience at all.

  • OK, here, I LOVE this- however I don't actually believe that BUSH was even ELECTED president.

    Not the first time OR the second time.

    I just never will believe it.

    Astrological reasons as well as a few "whacky" other reasons- but I really like this one too.

    :)

    It makes me sad to think people across the planet think we would support such ignorance.

  • Bin Laden is believed to be in northwestern Pakistan, where we have no Marines. So no. There are no Marines keeping Bin Laden up late at night. But you can believe what you want to if it makes you sleep better.

  • somehow I dont think he sleeps very well. I think the Marines make sure of that.

  • I'm sure Bin Laden sleeps much better too, knowing that he can attack us and get away with it.

  • thankfully no. I sleep much better knowing we have stopped many of the attacks.

  • What? Have you ever lived or worked abroad? In the aftermath of 911, there was an enormous outpouring of sympathy and solidarity for America and Americans. Total strangers walked up to me on the streets of Paris and expressed such support. It was only when Bush tried to strong-arm US allies into invading Iraq with his "with us or against us" approach that things started going south. The WMD lies didn't help, nor did torture at Abu Gharib or the contravening Geneva-convention creation of Gitmo.

  • There was sympathy from some of course because many non-Americans were killed, but a lot of it was the question of what the US did to bring it upon itself.

  • wow that is a very powerful statement, I don't think people understand how the U.S. is viewed overseas...

    Great Video...

  • not true,

    Clinton always was and still is very popular in Europe

  • Lee, you're going to force me to expand my vocabulary, trying to find new words to express my appreciation of this entire series. Should Obama win this election, it will be a relief to know our standing in the world will once again be one of leadership, vision, and hope.
