During George W. Bush’s presidency anti-Americanism has been rife. The old affection, though, has not been extinguished. Nor has the ingrained admiration for American ideals. Mr Obama provides a reason to swap the jeers for applause.
Mr Obama plans to visit Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel as well as Europe’s three biggest capitals. He will see for himself, these diplomats say, the intractability of the challenges. It is not enough that he is an engaging fellow; and, of itself, engagement will not persuade Iran to surrender its nuclear ambitions.
