Oh definately that was also part of the reason for his visit, to show that he is capable of meeting world leaders and to show he has credibility with them, but at the end of the day he is still on the election campaign and giving that message to the American electorate was his priority.

His whole stance and outlook was diametrically opposite from the 'with us or against us' rhetoric of the Bush administration.

Interesting also was that he spoke about common security needs and the need for an ongoing conflict in Afganistan, no doubt to appease the US industrial-military complex after gaining public support with his anti war stance, as with all politicians his convictions and promises will become more watered down the closer he gets to the seat of power.
