Considering...
... that Bush's idea of diplomacy is to massage the shoulders of the female German Chancellor, it is nice to see an American traveling overseas and showing some sensitivity to local cultural mores.
When Bush was running for office, this is what he said (2000 Presidential debate vs. Al Gore).
It really depends upon how our nation conducts itself in foreign policy. If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us. And it's -- our nation stands alone right now in the world in terms of power, and that's why we have to be humble.
Looks like Bush should have appointed Pelosi with her headscarf to be ambassador to the UN instead of John Bolton with his ridiculous-looking wig that made such a laughing stock of the US.
