George W. Bush on Humility
(Filed under: Politics)"If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us; if we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us."
-U.S. President George W. Bush, during a 2000 debate on foreign policy with then Vice President Al Gore. (Source: Time.com, September 2004)

I don't usually put political quotes on here, but I couldn't resist throwing this one out there. A lot has changed since 2000, but this quote seems so opposed to the leadership George W. Bush has offered.
Strong? Absolutely.
Humble? I don't know about that.
Arrogant? Probably. Definitely if you ask anyone outside the U.S.
