He has attempted to change (with some success) many people's (and foreign leaders') opinions and attitudes about the US and in doing so, is starting to open doors where only hostility existed before.
People are free to disagree, it goes without saying.
The Committee's reason for why. |
He has had very little success in anything related to peace. All he has done is continued the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. As people have said, all he's done is spout idealism...not done anything. We've had plenty of Presidents spout the same idealism.
I think the Committee believes this will give legitimacy to his Presidency and is trying to support it. However, I think this will only turn people further against him than they already are.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
