I don't know if I think the US is "repected" under Bush, or maybe it's just Bush they don't respect. I think foreigners approved of his response to 9/11, but beyond that, not so much. I think he's somewhat of a joke, unlike other Presidents we've had.

I have to tell you that in all the years I traveled to foreign countries I never felt not respected. I have to say that even when they weren't happy with our policies or decisions, I found most of the people very warm and friendly. Of course, I wasn't doing business with Al Quada. But, I think most foreigner admire the American spirit and they like our lack (as a society) of pretention and social class. Even the ones that come with reservations (definitely true of the Angolans and the South Africans), they find out that as people we are friendly and open and willing to discuss almost anything. One of the things the Defense Department does for all the visiting exchange delegations is take them on a tour of Washington and give them a sense of our history and why things are important to us. I think it makes an impression on them about who we are as a people.
