Calls for a general 's head because his comments may have ruffled the feathers of our esteemed enemies!?

The problem is not that it ruffles the feathers of our enemies, but the effect that it has on people who are already suspicious of us, but have not yet made the move into overtly opposing us.

In 2002, polls in Indonesia showed an approval rating of about 80% for the US. It's down to something in the 20s now. This sort of thing doesn't just piss off radicals, it pushes neutrals away from us and into the camp of the enemy.

Is that not cause for concern?
