Quote:International opinion clashes with our interests. International opinion, in fact, often serves against our interests. So, why should we harm ourselves just to be popular?
It is important , Next time you plan a vacation outside the U.S you will feel the backlash. Its pretty well known that Americans are not popular in Scotland and europe well before iraq,Since so many rude obnoxious loud mouth selfish nimrods ruined your image abroad, Some americans have put canadian flags on their backpacks knowing that Canadians are well liked and they receive warm caring treatment in Holand especially.
There has been backlash of all american products overseas since iraq, When you need the cooperation of other countries when fighting terrorism out of necessity some may not be very sympathetic or cooperative in the future.
You will make more enemies that way.
