It would seem that over the last 8 years, U.S. Foreign Policy has morphed into a one dimensional concept involving who we can invade or generally fight against. There has been a complete lack (EDIT: not enough, thank you Rammstein) of diplomacy during this time, both with our friends and our enemies.

Think back to the months after September 11. The entire world was with us.

now look at our position in the world today.

Foreign Policy.

People say that McCain will be better than Obama in terms of Foreign Policy. But McCain's FP experience and stated strategies are a mirror of the last 8 years. Have the American people been conditioned to think that Foreign Policy is ONLY about kicking butt, taking names, blowing things up, showing American might?

Isn't Foreign Policy more than that? Strengthening alliances, creating new ones, challenging foes to join and reap the benefits of membership.

before you answer that, look at the reception that Obama has received while overseas. From all appearances, "durn furiners" WANT to be our friends again. want to work with the U.S.

McCain's Foreign Policy is about catching flies with vinegar. Obama is all about honey. Who will catch more flies?
