Not Caring What Others Think

If you were ever picked on as a child, someone (parents, teacher, or someone else) probably told you not to worry what others think.

I had a conversation with someone yesterday about the upcoming presidential election in the context of how Europeans are watching the election. He commented that western Europeans really do not like President Bush, although eastern Europeans tend to like him. My thought is, "Who cares?" He is not the President of any European country. Sure, each countries foreign policy impacts other nations. We should not elect a President on the basis of whether or not some foreign country like or dislikes a candidate.
