JohnM, First, the Bush administration now has a dangerous international reputation. I gather that's not debatable. Actually it is, your rebuttle to K's "when did you stop beating your spouse" kinds of questions is very similar in form and function. Yes the left has that view and is supported by states such as France, Germany and Cuba (minor slip), but the US and Bush specifically has a lot of support from international leaders. The most important of which is Tony Blair. The left's McCarthyism of today is based on the word 'unilateral'. 16 to 18 Nato countries support the basic US position. 1 to 3 (depending on when you look) oppose. Looks a lot more like France is unilateral from a absolute definition standpoint. Polls - lets get to them - sometimes Government is just that and should not be led by or managed through opinion polls. These polls were against involvement in Bosnia, Kosovo and Somolia - the 3 you choose to say were noble causes. Polls were heavily against entering WW2 and only changed with Pearl Harbor. John
