blustockingU.S. LOOKS TO IMPROVE IMAGE ABROAD
WASHINGTON (AP)--The White House is raising the profile of a little-known office meant to polish America's image abroad and rebuild ties with allies alienated by Bush administration policies. The Office of Global Communications has existed for months, quietly working with foreign news media outlets to get the American message out. The office was an outgrowth of an earlier administration effort to build public support overseas for the war on terrorism. But a series of administration decisions before and after the Sept. 11 attacks brought increasingly sharp criticism, even from some allies, spurring the administration to give new emphasis to the office.
Arrogant, stupid white men

For 1988-1992 and 2000-2004, I think it could be summed up more specifically as "Arrogant, stupid white men named Bush." Let's hope for better things 2004-2008. If the world hasn't undergone massive nuclear attack by then due to the impending war in Iraq, of course.
It's really nice how Dubya has managed to singlehandedly ruin US foreign policy in two years. And who says the man's an idiot? That's quite a feat! Oh, wait.... Rome may not have been built in a day, but it sure could be effectively sacked in one by a band of snarling crotch-scratching idiots led by One Big Idiot.
Bleh!
