There are huge interests in keeping close relations with other large nations, even if you don't completely agree with them.

Cowboy politics, no more.
So the Balkan countries didn't respect the US during the Clinton administration? I thought respect was lost during the Bush administration, not the Clinton

But nice example, by your example you are also claiming that Russia doesn't respect...gasp...France???? Or any other Euro country for that matter. how could this be???
