First just like in our own selves we have to respect ourselves.
It will be easier for countries to listen to us and respect us if we ever become united again and end the partisanship and hatred.
If other countries see us torn and infighting they won't have respect for us because we aren't respecting ourselves and as shown our policies toward them can change abruptly.
But if we show a united front and respect for each other then other countries can be more open with us and the lines of communication and trust will be there.
It's like if we're neighbors and I tell you and your wife to join us for dinner. So you come over and my wife and I are throwing dishes at each other and spewing hate.... and it's not of the sexual foreplay kind..... then it will make you feel uncomfortable and not too trusting. Now, if my wife and I get along and have fun and show you that we respect each other and you... then you'll stay longer and come around more often.
Very basic idea, but that's my opinion in a nutshell.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
