Confirms the fact that many americans (the not voters) don't care about what happens outside their country. :DOh, they care about international relations. But not as much as you might.

For instance, while I didn't vote for Bush, I would rather not have had Kerry roll back the tax cuts. Personally, I benefitted about $2000 from the changes in the tax laws, and I'm not in the top percentages of wealthy people. Kerry spelled tangible pain when it came to taxes. I don't like running up deficits, or spending billions of dollars reconstructing failed countries either.
For the 20% or more in some areas of the country who found that moral values where the most important factor, the selection of 3 or 4 supreme court judges would be more important than what Europe thinks about us. Anyway, there are many domestic issues that resonate more with the mainstream of voters than whether or not we sign the Kyoto treaty, or whether or not we should have gone inot Iraq.
