It's quite interesting (and disconcerting) to see Libya (calling Obama a "native son"), Russia (anti-missile defense) and Cuba (climate change initiatives) have all recently praised the United States.
I'm not sure if I would be all that proud about it. Russia I would tolerate (up to a point) but the others?
A person would be ok with this if they were inclined to think and believe:
A) That Obama is a transfomative and transcendent figure. Having allies and enemies alike praise you is proof of this.
B) That all cultures are equal regardless of reputation, history and beliefs. Libya's opinion is equal to, say, New Zealand's opinion.
C) That America (and Israel for that matter) is the root of all evil and the apex of hypocrisy.
