U.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

"If only. Does it not bother you that this man represents us to the world?"

yes and no.

it used to bother me that Jesse Helms was (is for a few more months) the chairman of Senate Foreign Relations committee, as if he's the kind of ass pipe we need mouthing off to the world.

BUT

i do give the world some credit, they know he (they) don't speak for all Americans. No more than I judge...say Cuba based on what Castro says.
