I agree with you that the Obama World politics are more inclusionary than Bush. But I don't know whether this strategy will pay off or not. I think it is good in the sense that Obama may be able to rehabilitate the US' reputation with the masses in some other countries. That is a good thing. But I am skeptical as to whether the strategy will pay any true dividends in terms of us getting more of what we want from some of these governments that we are reaching out to.
