I understand that 9/11 changed things somewhat...but a switch so radical is a sure sign of absence of political fundamentals or blatant campaign lying or manipulation.

So, your position is that 9/11 didn't mandate that we make radical, fundamental changes?

I think it is fair to conclude that most Americans have been pleased with Bush's management of the events on 9/11 and since, up to and including the current action against Iraq. Not just MOST, but the vast majority. Who DOESN'T approve? Basically, the 25% Yellow Dog Democrats.

Is it surprising that the people of other nations would prefer that we take their abuse? Absolutely not. Just as we instrinsically want to be the most powerful nation in the world, the less powerful nations want to see our power eroded. There should be no surprise these people are anti-American.

What matters is where things stand after the war -- at the end of Bush's second term, for example. At that time, and not before, will we be able to determine the success or failure of Bush's actions.
