Sorry, but I do not need yours or any other non-U.S. citizen's opinion in order to know what is best for the U.S.  I honestly couldn't care less who you would like to see as President.

I'm not sure what the OP had in mind, but to me the question seems to be what do we think would be best for the rest of the world.

The US has great power. With great power comes great responsibility. This power and this responsibility goes way beyond the borders of the US. So it's quite reasonable that those of us who don't get to vote can still have an opinion.

If you don't want to hear that opinion, that's sad, but that's your prerogative. There's no need to be rude about it, though.

Sorry, but this election is for the American people, under American law, for leader of America.  Whether or not that effects other countries is only germaine insofar as the actions of new president pertain to foreign treaties and alliances.  Now, if you think the well-being of your country is affected to some extent by who becomes president, then that is because of arrangements YOUR country has entered into with the US.  Even then, it still doesn't give you the right to criticize our choice, or the way we go about making that choice.  Anything else is interference in our process, and that is not the way to endear yourselves to the American public or our leaders.

So, if you, as you wrote, know what's best for the U.S. why aren't you to be found on the ballot?

Thanks, Rick...but no thanks!

I am incapable of lying into people's faces, so I'd never survive.

Couldn't be worse than McCAin/Palin

And have you forgotten that they ACTUALLY USED chemical weapons on the Kurds?

That were the Turks, not the Iraqis. Didn't make any difference for the Kurds though.

I would have voted for John McCain.
Obama has no experience whatsoever, unlike McCain.
Sure, Obama has all the talk, but can he do the walk? highly doubtful !

And don't let me start about his so called "questionable connections" with extremists.

Correct, and we all know that.

Didn't know being invaded by the US and it's allied could be referred to as "entering into an arangement with the US", but if that's what you call it fine with me.

This is where you are wrong. We have no right dictating your choice. We have no right claiming you do not have the right to make the choice you do. We have no right to demand you change the way the choice is made (beyond the rights granted by international treates the US chose to enter into).

But we do have every right criticizing your choice and methods.

Only insecure people would have a problem with other people criticizing or commenting on your political system. Intelligent people would listen to the comments and still make up their own mind - using the input if they find it reasonable and ignoring it if they don't.

Only complete idiots would think they lived in a perfect country that couldn't learn anything at all from other countries. Hence the smart thing is to listen. You are intelligent enough to decide what to do with the critizism, aren't you?

Sorry, but this election is for the American people, under American law, for leader of America.  Whether or not that effects other countries is only germaine insofar as the actions of new president pertain to foreign treaties and alliances and to our effects on Global warming and our financial and trade policies. Our military strategy in Iraq /Afghanistan etc .  Now, if you think the well-being of your country is affected to some extent by who becomes president, then that is because of arrangements YOUR country has entered into with the US.  Even then, it still doesn't give you the right to criticize our choice, or the way we go about making that choice.  Anything else is interference in our process, and that is not the way to endear yourselves to the American public or our leaders.

You've missed off a bit.
