What those countries generally think of Americans and their approval of America has also risen since Obama took office - in many cases substantially. And that is good for American business & trade, good for diplomacy - getting the UN behind things America wants to do and therefore, good for peace and the safety of Americans.

There's no way Romney, with 75% of his foreign policy team neocon Bushies, offers that to the American people. It's not remotely close. On Day 1, he'll have a trade war with China and will be muscling up to start a war with Iran.

I would note that outside of Libya (North Africa) and a few others, a number of countries in the Middle East area are not as fond of Obama. I suspect Israel probably has bought into the Romney BS but they probably haven't heard the "kick the can down the road" policy from behind closed doors.
