Part of the global excitement over Barack Obama can be explained by the widespread alarm around the world over George W. Bush and the foreign policy messes that he created.

Author and journalist Eric Margolis, a disillusioned Republican, says one of the unnecessary problems created by the Bush administration is the strained relationship with Russia, a nuclear power that has bristled over what it sees as U.S. provocations.

(The story summary continues below.)

Margolis says Obama also will have to deal with China, which has exploited U.S. economic weaknesses to emerge as a major competitor of the United States in Asia and other parts of the world.
