Yeah because North Korea and Iran love us so much more now. Give me a freaking break.
Their absurd leaders certainly not. But what about the people ? Maybe many still hate you, but many also still see the US in a more favorable light.
With "sane" I actually meant Europe, Canada, Australia, hell there was even an Argentina poll out which had the US in a 70-10 favorable light, considering that Bush had 20% approval there at some point. Certainly those numbers will go down too, but many people around here like the fact of a rational, non-interventionist Obama, who's trying to steer the US out of it's domestic mess, instead of playing the world cop like the maniac Texan before him.
