the thing is the perception. Under Bush there was a significant reaction to his you're with us or agin us. And this was from conservatives. That's the point I am making. these people are not any where near the left wing, they are tories through and through. The point is that if conservatives had this reaction to Bush, then any positive change in their perception is a good thing.
The point being is that there is also a very different attitude that is perceived towards the rest of the world by the US. Instead of do it this way or else, its more of a cooperative thing.
