It is great, our president should represent the USA in decisions on the Olympics
It is a terrible distraction for him to be going to Denmark while he shelves his decision on Afghanistan and our soldiers are dying there every day

FAQ Global #6

6. Are other countries helping us confront the terrorists?

The United States has a number of allies in the war on terrorism. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were carried out by coalitions led by the United States and supported by many other nations. While some countries lacked the resources to send large numbers of troops, they contributed as much as they were able. Other countries, notably the United Kingdom and Australia, contributed substantial military forces and financial aid. In non-military operations, the United States enjoys a close working relationship with the countries of Europe, as well as many countries in the Middle East and Asia, that allows for important information sharing and otherwise unavailable access to remote areas and isolated groups. Terrorism poses an international threat to the world and must be addressed in an international way in order to be fully defeated.
