It mattered what you thought of Iraq, didn't it?

I don't understand how anyone can't care even just a little bit about what others think of the U.S. Do you not realize the importance of global trade, of international relations, of diplomacy outside of your borders?

Are you suggesting that having foreign diplomats is a waste of time and resources?

What are you saying, exactly?
