Put an End to Neoconservative Rumors

Michael Cohen, Democracy Arsenal | July 31, 2008

There are two rumors regarding the US elections: the first one says that if a candidate travels abroad he becomes inaccessible to "ordinary" Americans. ++ Considering the positive image which Americans have of Europeans, this assumption seems to be ill-informed. ++ The second one assumes that Americans want their president to maintain an arm's distance relationship with our Allies and it can't be supported by any evidence either. ++ But due to constant repetition by neo-conservative politicians, both notions became conventional wisdom.
