If we were facing homegrown terrorism, I would have no problem with telling the rest of the world to piss off. But the terrorists we face come from other places, and ideally we would like to stop them before they get here. To do that we will need the cooperation of other nations. With respect to some place, like Afghanistan, Iraq, and other pariahs, we can simply barge in and help ourselves. But that isn't really practical with most countries.

I strongly disagree Nadine. You are describing a world in which the US, Israel and perhaps the UK are at war with the terrorists with the rest of the world standing idly by. I think it is europe under siege and they will come to terms with us. Will they ever llke bush, no of course not. But with or without bush, they will have to come to grips with terror. You cant even appease these guys. As they say "you love life and we love death." Where is the common ground. I say lets all give them what they want. mike
