It seems the problem with Hillary is she looking foreign policy only in American perspective and not from the shoes of other nations. Other nations of the world feel like America is bulling them and thinks all others should follow and listen to them.

The recent Senator Obama response to this shows that he has more experience and understands how other nations feel and how important it is to portray a different picture of America. Below are his responses.

Obama said, "The debate is not just about life experience, although obviously that informs my perspective. But it also has to do with perspectives about how the United States should project its interests and ideals around the world.

"And what's been interesting about this debate over diplomacy is, I really think that it is a debate over the same conventional thinking that led people to authorize the war in Iraq without asking questions versus a, an approach to foreign policy that asks questions and is informed by a knowledge and perspective of cultures like those in Iraq and is not trapped by a lot of received wisdom. And that I think is what is going on here. We had a foreign policy over the last several years that is obsessed with talking tough and then not acting very smartly,"

"And part of what I believe we have to have if we are going to be successful in going after terrorists and mobilizing the international community around critical issues like Darfur and stabilizing Iraq is a willingness to not just talk tough, but be tough enough and smart enough to talk to leaders around the word, to engage our enemies, to speak truthfully, to uphold our values. And that I think is going to be part of the central debate in this campaign."

You see these comment are of a person who is seasoned with practical experience. My Question is why should Hillary not willing to project upfront willingness to meet with these presidents or any otherworld leader? Don't she know here reaction sends a negative arrogant message? This kind of response solidifies the other nations resentments against America? Why is should she thinking that they will take advantage of their meeting for their propaganda?

The Question at hand was not about committing but rather willingness to meet! Therefore Barack Obamas answer show to Americans and mostly to internationals that America is willing to work with them and maybe solve the issues and differences that presently exist. What a great portrait of the American virtues! Telling the world America is a friend and not your enemy. I also believe this is the right heart and boldness of a true leader.

Thanks.
