International Strategy: Peace

I am very excited to see that the new administration is taking an active role in repairing our international relations. President Obama spent the majority of the past month abroad, speaking with foreign leaders and reintroducing America to the world. President Bush has done irreparable damage to our diplomacy with policies above and beyond Iraq. One of the biggest reasons some Americans hated Bush was for the way he made everyone else in the world hate us.

I'm ready for a new world order. Peaceful talks. Cooperation. Collaboration. Productivity. Efficiency. We've certainly lost our global footing in the past eight years, but I think that Obama is moving in the right direction. We can't solve all the worlds problems, but maybe if we all work together we can solve a few more than we would have alone. Maybe I'm just young and naive, but I've naive enough to think we can make this a better world and young enough to benefit from it when I'm older.
