Unless you really beilvee Obama has brought us a new world. Then anything IS possible.Anything is always possible. But the only thing I beilvee Obama has brought is more competent leadership that is in a better position to understand how a diverse array of nations actually think about the world. Sometimes leaders have an effect on the global dynamic, sometimes they don't. It will remain to be seen where Obama falls in that regard. But it has happened before and I don't see why people who are so quick to denounce the incomprehensible, "immoral" and "amoral" ways in which other nations act, are so inclined to disbeilvee that culture matters and that leaders who are in touch with other cultures might be in a better position to negotiate and deal effectively with those other nations.And I'm not buying the idea that some sensationalized and derogatory headline of one of Obama's detractors in the media on the British right has its finger on the pulse of what will or won't go right with the Obama administration.
