Those who voted for Bush may not be as outraged by American involvement in torture, or the misleading information about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and connections with Al Qaeda, as those abroad.

对于美国卷入酷刑丑闻，伊拉克拥有大规模杀伤性武器以及伊与基地组织有关联的误传等问题，海外的美国民众可能要比那些投票给布什的民众更感到气愤。但是他们不希望美国独自地担负维护国际和平的重担。他们渐渐意识到并不因为美国是世界唯一的超级大国，就自然而然地拥有了领导地位和其它国家的合作。
