reflection on my previous blog.

So Mr. Ruffin brought up an interesting point; that demonstrates the difference in Iraq and U.S. perspectives.

Iraq looked at the shoe throw as a sign of rebellion and disrespect to be looked on as praiseworthy while the U.S. would look at that as something to be embarrassed about and potentially disastrous. The Iraqi government isn't worried about establishing relations with foreign countries, and that will be one of their downfalls. A key reason the US has gotten where it has in the world is because it takes into account foreign nations and how we carry ourselves in a professional manner. I cant believe I'm saying this, but i hope Iraq follows that example. I absolutely detest America's involvement in their government, etc, but i hope Iraq learns that it actually does have to care how it conducts relations with other countries. The world is becoming increasingly globalized, and EVERYONE is going to have to learn to deal with it.
