We don't need sympathy, we need a sense
of honor in fighting a common enemy.

Agreed. I would contend though that the means chosen to fight world
terrorism by the US in recent years have not been terribly effective.

Militarily I'd say the U.S. has been *extremely* effective, but from a
public relations standpoint I'd have to agree with you.

But it's kinda' tough to fight world terrorism when, for example,
almost 70-percent of our so-called Canadian "friends" believe
that the U.S. is partly responsible for the 9/11 attacks and
15-percent of Canadians believe that the U.S. is entirely to blame.

Then there's our other so-called European "friends" whom are
card-carrying members of the flat-earth society and whom have
convinced themselves that the U.S. rigged the WTC towers and
Pentagon with explosives just so the U.S. could start a war in the
desert and take over the oil fields etc. ad nauseum.

As the World's Only Superpower, I suppose that is to be expected
but rather than the U.S. worrying about losing the sympathy of
the world, perhaps the world should start worrying about losing the
sympathy of the U.S.!!
