One of the key arguments of Barack Obama's Presidential campaign was
that he would improve America's image around the world. This idea was
based on the false assumption that anti-Americanism was due to factors
peculiar to the Bush administration, as opposed to the basic realities
of America's role in the world and the hostility that many feel toward
our values and interests. Thus, anyone foolish enough to believe that
electing Obama would transform our international relationships must be
disappointed.

Obama's planned visit to the land of his youth. One might think that
Indonesia, especially, would welcome Obama as a favorite son. But
Muslims in the world's largest Muslim country don't see it that way.
