It's not a perfect picture -- but there is a real effort on Obama's part to move America into to the black in foreign policy and out of the crusades that undermined America's position of respect in the world.

International polling shows that with the exception of Pakistan, which splits 14 percent for Governor Romney to 11 percent for President Obama, the rest of the polled world would strongly prefer a second Obama term.

It was a reversal of the first debate where Obama was professorial and pensive, while Romney appeared assertive and competent. In the third debate the Republican candidate was the one with the "deer caught in the headlights" expression.

Mitt Romney, like GWB before he was elected and some might add after he was elected, knows little about foreign policy. Therefore, he has to rely on others for his foreign policy.
