Tom chill out. Of course we had enemies when Clinton was prez. You take a poll of the PEOPLE in that list of allied countries in your post and see what they think of America now verses then. Bush has given us a near rouge state image in much of the world. That's the way it is. Admit it and say you don't care, but don't try to say it isn't true.

I supported ousting Saddam and am optomistic about the long term prospects for democracy in Iraq, but Bush utterly failed diplomatically pre-war. I repeat, I consider his inability to get the UN on board by far his biggest failure as president.
