For starters, Pres Obama could be honest with the Am people and admit the U.S. made a HUGE mistake when we invaded Iraq...then announce with conviction he is pulling the U.S. military out of the failed state of Iraq, and will not allow the U.S. to continue to participate in the mid-East civil war.
I catch a world news program nightly (from Paris, France), and it's interesting to see how the U.S. is viewed around the world - the mess in the mid-East is viewed as a U.S. problem since we toppled Saddam and broke open sectarian hatred, something the U.S. can never solve no matter how long we remain in that region - so far, 12 years!
