I don't think it necessarily means vote for an independent, but just someone who has a moderate approach to foreign relations. It certainly is sad that hating the US may be thought of as trendy now. I really do feel that average citizens like us reflect more of the overall sentiment of a nation than what the politicians do. At least we can enjoy each other's company and talk freely about how we view things.

Not necessarily. Obama is tough on security, and a democrat, but still has a relatively moderate approach to his foreign relations. It's not inconceivable for someone to have extreme views on domestic issues, but still be moderate on other areas.
