Our most pressing foreign policy problem is our reputation in the world as a result of our basically unilateral action in preemptively attacking Iraq. Preemptive strike is not a policy which builds allies and strengthens our position at the global table. The President's conduct in the war in Iraq influences our country's ability to lead on a number of other important matters -- human rights, environmental responsibility, and international health issues like avian influenza (bird flu), just to name a few.
