OK, to start, for those who say we are winning, services in Iraq are worse than they were under Saddam, more civilians have been killed during our occupation that were in all of Saddam's rule. If we didn't "blow things up and kill innocent civilians" how did we do that while carpet bombing cities and sending high explosive munitions into them?
We will leave the increased cancer risk due to the depleted uranium projectiles for another time.
Now for the original question
We already have.
Under Bush; America has lost the respect of the people of almost every country in the world. A few countries which are dependent on US aid and power still pretend to be on our side but their people are not.
They see us turning into Russia of the 50s and 60s; Invading countries for no reason, wire tapping illegally, library records being seized, showing documents for travel, being encouraged to spy on our neighbors all in the name of SECURITY, plus the elimination of the middle class.
Just hope that in November the long road to recovery will begin; but it will take far longer than the 6 years it took to get this close to the bottom.
Remember, the "Patriot Act" is not patriotic.
