Enemies rejoice

9. Just about all of America's prime enemies gleefully rejoiced at the Obama victory.
This should hardly be unexpected as one never knew what country Bush would aim at next. To get the full story however you should also note the countries that Bush didn't plan to blow up but still found reason to celebrate. Canadian news reported the election as if it was ours, or better stated: the American election meant more to us than our own. To the best of my knowledge we aren't an enemy, but I think the celebrations throughout our country was in part a sigh of relief. Obama is our hope for change in how the U.S. asserts its power on the rest of the world but also how the rest of the world views the U.S.
A black president is one sign of real change in the U.S. but most importantly for the current world opinion there is hope for a lessening of the hatred your country has earned since the attacks of 911. A chance for change in how your country asserts itself onto the rest of the world. I hope that Obama can bring back some of the greatness your country once had instead of the creeping feeling of a future global dictatorship.
