In other words, vote for Obama for fear of the world and for fear of being perceived as a racist. fear.

I think most Americans are out of touch with how we are seen by the rest of the world. What seems worse to me is that most Americans don`t give a rat`s ass what the rest of the world thinks. Which is exactly the position North Korea occupies. It really is nice to travel and not have to lie about one`s nationality.

^^ America (my country) needs to rid itself of the idea that every war some f-ing president declares is somehow June of `44 all over again. The whole Speilberg/Hanks postcard to our WWII vets was poignant, despite Matt Damon, but I really think we need to rid ourselves of that metaphor for a while.

If you intend on leading the world, or even a pack of dogs, you must first gain their respect, then their admiration to be successful. America has for far too long been selling respect through force. We have some serious homework on the admiration front.

Americans cant find other countries on a map because we don`t care about any other country. America is a nation of people who left other countries because those countries sucked or were run by assholes. If anything learning that the rest of the world wants us to vote for Obama will only make us want McCain even more.
