During the past eight years, the Bush administration has squandered the world\'s unprecedented post-9/11 outpouring of sympathy and goodwill. In its place, his aggression and arrogance have alienated America from the rest of the Western world. He forfeited our status as Greatest Nation in the World to Most Hated Nation in the World ... how are the mighty fallen!

We are a great nation. But. We are not the greatest nation. There are a lot of possibilities in our country. But. There are no such things as \\\'this can only happen in the USA\\\'. We have a lot to offer to the world. But. We are not the leader of the world. We are not the policeman of the world. We have to learn to be humble, to listen to the world. We have to learn how to visit the world as a friend.

Strengthen the relationship with the European Union through Germany, so as to learn from its Social Market Economy, which is a good middle ground between Capitalism and Socialism. Do not depend so much on trade with China, which will mean the reduction of outsourcing manufacturing jobs and, thereby giving non service jobs to hard working Americans. Stop harassing Venezuela, stop destroying small Mexican farmers by introducing cheap US subsidized genetically altered corn into the Mexican market. HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS, so that we can be a healthy, civilized society.
