...American prodding on issues such as climate change and relations with Pakistan. They also fault the American market for the crash that brought down the global economy with it. Yet, as a whole, the people admire and respect a country that, more often than not, treats them as an equal partner, introduces new business models and economic ideas to their country, and sets a model for tolerance and diversity. As we work to rebuild our bonds with the rest of the world, these lessons are worth keeping in mind...
