During Desert Storm the world was on our side, including most Muslim people, when we and the UN went into Kuwait to win it back from a foreign invader.
After 9-11 the world was on our side, including most Muslin people, when we went into Afghanistan after Osama and those actually responsible for the Twin Towers attacks.
When we had Osama cornered and surrounded we suddenly decided to pull back, leaving Osama’s capture in the hands of local war lords, and decided to focus on Saddam. At the time Saddam was not a serious threat to us or the world. He was just another piss ant little dictator in another little country.
Still, we all but deserted catching Osama so that we could invade Iraq.
Now, much of the world has turned against us, including most Muslims and this time our motives are questioned by all.
Instead of catching Osama we're occupying two invaded countries and creating resentful new enemies every day.
Or could I be wrong? What do you honestly think?
