*US image overseas stays low

Iraq, Afghan wars drop bombs on US image abroad as Obama's fame fades


U.S. lawmakers are working on how to reverse the country's flagging image in Muslim nations. President Obama's election brought a welcome surge in U.S. popularity, but that reputation's on the slide as the unwelcome wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue.


My thoughts: President Obama started off with good intentions. Bush probably did too. But like all American Presidents, their power is actually limited. 


The majority of Americans have no idea what their government does in their name to cause others all over the world to hate them. The majority of Americans continue to think all their "problems" and all their "enemies" will be wiped out by military means, by dropping million dollar "smart" bombs. 


How many "terrorists" do you think you need to kill before you completely wipe out "terrorism"? Have a number of people in mind? Need to kill thousands more in hopes that a few "terrorists" will be among the "collateral damage" (innocents killed)? Shame on Americans who still think the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were/are justified. 


By the way.. how's the Trans Afghan Pipeline coming along?
