The most troubling thing is that the Bush folk have taken a world wide favorable consensus, following 9-11, and turned it on its head.

I'm don't think that "world wide favorable consensus" has been demonstrated.

A lot of politicians said sympathetic things just after the event and a lot of folk demonstrated sympathy for the victims. But there was an awful lot of 'they had it coming' and 'it's their own fault'. And there was a lot of objection even to the Afghanistan expedition.

I think it equally valid to argue that 9/11 was permission to a lot of people and governments to attack or oppose the US in various ways.
