November 2nd - "A Day of Infamy"

Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Reagan administration, says:

On November 2 Americans blew their only chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of the world.

. . .

The world was waiting hopefully for the sensible American people to rectify the ill-advised actions of a rogue neoconservative administration. Instead, Americans placed the stamp of approval on the least justifiable military action since Hitler invaded Poland.

. . .

The world’s sympathy for America that followed the September 11 attacks has been squandered. If the US suffers terrorist attacks in the future, the world will say that America invited the attacks and got what it asked for.

Europeans and Asians will never be able to comprehend that Bush was reelected because Americans were voting against homosexual marriage and abortion.

On edit: Added the link...sorry I forgot. I just got so carried away when I read this.

2. This part bothers me greatly...

The world’s sympathy for America that followed the September 11 attacks has been squandered. If the US suffers terrorist attacks in the future, the world will say that America invited the attacks and got what it asked for.

If another catastrophic terrorist attack happens on US soil, the rest of the world will simply say, "tough shit...":(

I think Dr. Roberts has a handle on how the rest of the world - the one the Chimperor throws his feces at - views our beloved country now.

I am truly concerned that, when we need it most, there will be no help forthcoming.
