Do you think the views of other people (from other countries) about the United States has changed as a result of the “war on terror”?

As I walked out of a pub in Canada, a guy sitting at an
outside table said (with that thick Irish brogue), “So, you voted for Obama, did ya?” My Wife  was with me and she said, “Yes; I did,”
to which he replied, “Finally — someone honest; I knew somebody in
America had to vote for him.” We stayed and talked to him for another
hour and a half, becoming friends in the process. I’ve traveled to a
few other countries since my time in the military and I have to say,
from my own personal experience, that much of the world holds a dim view
of America right now, especially in terms of policy and leadership. If
you think I’m wrong, but you haven’t been out of the country for a
while, then I urge you to travel and see for yourself. My own view is
that America’s diplomatic corps may have a couple of decades of hard
work to do (repairing friendships with countries and organizations
abroad).
