People have emotions, no matter their interests. Just look the American people preparing to vote Republican in the midterm election because he is angry against Obama, who failed in two years, fix the crap Bush has accumulated over eight years.
nations do not have emotions, they have only interests. One need only see how Roosevelt left Churchill with Hitler Sort this out for two years from 1939 to 1941, playing the violin of the "arsenal of democracy", which allowed him to seek re-election and at the same time to truly leave his country from economic slump of the Thirties.
Although not American, I live in the U.S. time, at the time of the American left, if indeed someone could explain what it is. I dream that this powerful nation meets and promotes ways to live civilly on this small planet. I want it positively involved in international institutions. Finally, I think it is of paramount importance that the American people understand, the more visceral way possible, that his true interests are not those of the various lobbies that fund's current politicians.
(As an aside, I hear a low voice: "Hello Earth? Zylag, are you there?")
Yes, like the American left, I despair and I rail against Obama. He is not doing enough. It temporizes too. He conceded needlessly important issues to Republicans who have the desire to make him jump feet. But the reality American politics is quite different than what I see naively through mainstream media.
Syed Saleem Shahzad is still a journalist of Asia Times on line that opened my eyes. He tells us how the Obama administration is negotiating with the Taliban to extricate itself from the quagmire of Afghanistan:

Syed Saleem Shahzad is still a journalist of Asia Times on line that opened my eyes. He tells us how the Obama administration is negotiating with the Taliban to extricate itself from the quagmire of Afghanistan:
1 ° The Pakistani army to capture the Karachi commander of the Taliban in Afghanistan. She refused to surrender to the Americans but their offer to try to initiate talks with the Taliban so that official contacts between the Americans and the Taliban become politically acceptable.
2 ° Taliban representatives have participated as usual for traditional dinners (iftar) in Saudi Arabia and the UAE during the last Ramadan.
3 ° These dinners usually ceremonial became scéances negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban, through the Saudis and the Pakistani military, acting as intermediaries.
4 ° The Taliban are ready to make the following preliminary statements:
a) The Taliban have allowed Al-Qaeda that under the traditions of hospitality of the Afghan people.
b) The Taliban are opposed to international terrorism and deplore the violence in Muslim countries.
c) The Taliban forces are currently fighting foreign occupation and war have no ambition beyond the borders of Afghanistan.
All this of course does not exist yet. It has nothing to do with either the fact that Obama has appointed diplomat Richard Holbrooke, architect of the Dayton Agreement on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Special Envoy of the Presidency in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has nothing to do with either the dismissal of General McChrystal, the idiot who claimed he could win the war in Afghanistan if he were given more troops.
The United States is a huge ship that is difficult to influence the momentum. Diplomacy is a long patience. Patience and irritate the impatient.
But November 2010 is coming soon. And in November 2012 as well.
