Does this surprise you at all? Do people remember the first Gulf War? We had the same idiots standing outside protesting with "no war for oil" signs back then, too. Prior to Pearl Harbor, most Americans didn't wan't to get involved in WW2, either.

Really the whole problem comes down to Bush being a lousy diplomat. I happen to agree with his policies, but the way he's gone about it has pissed a lot of people off. Clinton managed to get involved in sevaral conflicts without facing such harsh international resistance, which is surprising since I consider him a shitty president in all but his ability to look good in TV. That should tell you something about the world.
