We've isolated ourselves from our allies.

We've pushed even our greatest allies away from the United States. The average politician and citizen in our closest ally, Britain, is deeply against the war in Iraq and see the disposed Blair as Bush's lapdog. Brown won because he showed little support for the US.

When your closest allies keep you at arms length, and your tenuous ones like France and Germany barely talk to you, you have to be isolationist.

Hopefully a new president can help bridge the large divide that Bush has created.
