As the lone superpower America must show restraint or be blamed for all the worlds ills, Clinton understood that and he had the respect of the world.
Those who share your opinions on matters have no place at the table of nations, you however are welcome to your opinion, but please understand that many who do not hold with your ideas outside the US act not with a desire to hate the US, but a desire to build a better world community.
Patriotism will never win the war on terrorism, as it is really a cultural war, do not subdue the world by force of arms but inspire by force of example!

The world respected Clinton? Not even the military who HAD to show respect for the office held any real respect for him.
And I assume you are familiar with Carter's lead by example strategy? Nations will not follow your lead if it is not consistant with their goals.
