Obama better wake up now. We need to send an extra 50 or 100, 000 US troops there before it's too late.

Why? No really...why? Let Saudi, or China, or even Russia deal with it. This is their back yard, not ours.

As for the Afghans, hey guess what? If they had even attempted to have a fair and representative government, this nonsense wouldn't be happening.

Uh... Your article is only about other countries liking the US, it says nothing about them respecting the US.

Most of the world likes Obama, but have no respect for his complete ignorance of foreign affairs.

Don't worry though i'm sure it is Bush's fault somehow.

To be fair Obama has dramatically escalated troops in Afghanistan above where Bush had it.

Obama is bombing twice the number of countries that Bush was.

Obama is creating more military bases in non-combat zones than Bush.

Obama has dramatically escalated the drone program.

Obama continued the Patriot Act.

Etc...
