Hindsight is 20-20, but the developments in Iraq have been such a cataclysmic failure that I feel the United States is incredibly isolated now, and I can't help but think about what might have been. The world was on our side three years ago today. We could have been the "beacon" we've always wanted to be and limited our military efforts in Afghanistan. Then bringing the world community into Afghanistan to build that country back up could have eliminated a lot of the hatred towards us. An American-European-Russian alliance could have been formed to fight terrorism around the world -- sharing intelligence and helping boost moderate regimes in the Middle East.
Instead, Europe doesn't trust us. Russia doesn't trust us. We're occupying a nation in the Middle East, so every negative stereotype about the USA has been proven correct. We're the beacon, all right -- the beacon of worldwide hatred.
