Good will? Please explain. Also, tell me how he pissed it away.
The man enjoyed the sympathy of nearly the whole world after Setember 11th, nearly everybody supported an attack on Afgahnistan, and at the time I thought he could sustain it for a very long time.
However, the man is not much of a diplomat, and I don't feel there is anyone apart from Powell who is. I think Rumsfeld and his attitude has a major part to play in this as many people see him as arrogant and many of his attacks on European countries have been hamfisted and crude (witness the recent "Old Europe" debacle). Bushs' incistence on an attack at the expense of any other measures is also hitting a sour note and is having the effect of making the US look more and more like a bully than the Worlds policeman.
