Mutual respect
The problem with our foreign policy today is that, as a country, we seem to be unable to look through the eyes of other people. This is clearly not the case for individuals within the country, look at all of the donation activity that happens even in this time of economic hardship, but our country as a whole seems lo lack that insight.
We seemed to be doing a better job of it in Afghanistan than in Iraq, but if this really is a “war on terror” then we really need to do a better job of not making people mad at us. And the first step towards that is walking a mile in their shoes. “Think about how your brother would feel”
Trib op-ed on the subject.
