Yeah, I think we probably are. I think the difference is that in Britain we've probably known for a long while that we're not liked - subjugating a quarter of the globe to create an empire doesn't tend to inspire too many friendly thoughts - however, I reckon it only hit home for a lot of Americans how disliked the US is after 9/11. And the US govt isn't doing much to make friends when it starts saying nasty things and threatening import sanctions on countries who dare to hold opposing opinions on blasting Saddam right now. (France & Germany)I dread to think what will happen within world politics if the Bush-Blair coalition attack Iraq without a 2nd UN resolution...... [
