The World Will Like Us Again

"I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me! You Really, Really like me!".

The World Will Like Us Again 3

Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I don't see this happening without an extreme amount of effort.  Even when Clinton, who was considered highly liked outside the US, was president, there were still countries that didn't like us too much.  That's just to be expected.  We'll have to see if Obama can make a difference on the world stage, and that opportunity will present itself soon enough.

It's human nature to be jealous of someone who appears to have more and live better. It's more important for a nation to be respected than to be liked. (The Prince by Machiavelli) If we were an imperialistic country like England was for centuries, then it would be an issue of consequence if our empire holdings liked us. (otherwise, it is national rivalry, not unlike with siblings.)
