The US is not a safer place, the world is not a safer place for Americans, Bush alternates between his new-found bravery and begging for help, it's just a humiliating mess.

I don't think you would disagree with that.

And I believe we live in a community of nations, and need all the help we can get.

If you look at it, the US is the only country to invade a country not on it's borders and without provocation in a long, long time. No wonder we're not trusted.

Time to be effective, time to rid the world of terrorism, not a time to create more terrorists.

Which is what the US has been doing, just as fast as it can.

As far as your opinion of nations which don't like us, when you figure how our civil rights have been gutted, how people were treated at Guantanamo, our paying for the Israeli ethnic cleansing, our failed promises to the Afghanis, our support of the biggest source of nuclear technology to smaller nations, the US has little of which to be proud in the last three years.

Rogue nations? If one considers actions and not rhetoric, the US is the first among 'em.
