five years ago.

Then our fellow country men and women decided that they wanted to completely burn it all down.

As many noted, countries have moved on and won't trust us to not do this again.

So, IF we have an election and IF it goes properly and IF this enough of our country men and woman don''t gobble up the bullshit the right will scream about with our candidate and we elect a good dem, he or she should do an initial outreach to foreign leaders, not make any promises, just let them know he or she will start to try to clean up the mess and will operate in an ethic and honorable manner while office and then start to work on the ENDLESS list of messes that will need to get cleaned up.

Just too much, in too short of a time, to get worked out here to worry about much else abroad.
