Foreign Expectations for President Obama

I'm from the UK, anything to do with bringing troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq is good for us because if the US isn't there, I don't think we will be for much longer. Although it is our own doing, our government chose to join the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though we had not been affected by Islamic terrorism, our participation in these wars has caused us to become a target of Islamic terrosim, therefore I want the necissary to be done to stop it. It's not being weak, its not being p*ssy, it was an American war that we should never have got involved in. We wern't being attacked. Yes you should get rid of terrorism, but that is easier said than done, and it always depends what you define terrorism as. To some countries the US are terrorists, with their methods of extrating information under the Bush administration.. the way people (some innocent) were rounded up, tied and hooded and sent to Cuba, etc. As a result of the Bush administation, and Tony Blair's a*se licking, we are more likely to be terrorised in our own country. I want that reversed and I think Obama will do a good job of douing that.

Nothing. He's still a politician, 99%+ of the US Government is still the same, and the world is still pretty screwed up at the moment. My main worry is how much damage he will do. There's no situation so bad that a politician can't make it worse.

obama himself has made speeches about a global effort to work together, for the betterment of the world economy. He has already telephoned our prime minister here in Canada, they were talking about better communication, trade, economics, and the joint effort of strategies to combat global warming. So that is the expectations canadians have.

As far as other countries, I am sure he will do his best to get some treaties going but I do not know how much he can do for the rest of the world. He really needs to get the house (USA) in order before we can help out others.
