> It is exceedingly difficult to judge exactly what the rest of the world > thinks about the election of Obama
I'll tell you what the populace of New Zealand I live among thinks (and I suspect a considerable many more nations)... It's nice to see an adult get elected. Someone who thinks rationally, speaks clearly, and appears not to be committed to ideology. That doesn't mean he can walk on water or is able to turn the inertia of the U.S political machine single handedly but may hopefully indicate a general change in U.S public support from the irrational to reasonable. Obama will still make decisions disliked by the world because they'll be in the U.Ss interests, but it appears he isn't going to foolishly undermine his own and others countries by disregarding the need to cooperate internationally. He also appears to understand the majority of the U.Ss problems are internal and not external and that mending his own house comes first. He just seems sane and we're thankful for that major change in U.S government. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
