U.S. is losing the sympathy of the world

The sympathy of the world (whatever the hell "world" means in that
context) plus two euros will buy you a cup of coffee in some capital
cities.

The US never had the sympathy of the world in any recognisable,
cohesive fashion. Even the enormity of 9/11 was only just sufficient
to suppress the "They brought it on themselves/US foreign policy is to
blame" rants for about 5 seconds.

This post should not be understood as implying support for any US
policy, past, present or future, but merely as a small contribution to
the War against Bull****, which is both more pressing and more
important than the War against Terrorism.

Got my vote.
