Many people may criticise America but many other countries would do well to make an effort to visit new leaderships and extend a handshake and those countries and those countries shouldnt have to be in direct line of sight or have something they want. I like that the U.S. makes an effort where they have nothing to gain but friendship on the other side of the world. I'm more of a hybrid Republican/Democrat based on policies rather than a nice smile or good hair or skin colour but Obama and Clinton both did well to get out and shake hands and offer support where they had nothing to gain because they realise that they are looked up to as a nation.
