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 our President 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. The terrorists were the ones we should have stayed on the trail of.
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.
Why can’t some understand that we went after the wrong bad guy at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons?

Saddam didn't have any thing to do with 9/11. He still needed to be gone. The Liberal press, the blame America first crowd and the terrorist are the reason that people have a problem with American. Nothing has changed except the whiners and the agenda.

who is 'we'? it was bush's decision. not mine. he should have stayed on task. he is an idiot. has he ever justified the invasion of iraq? shouldn't he be on trial for war crimes? as for the last sentence you stated.. bush is/was wrong.
