Indeed. WW. Thankee.

I see your argument there, but I am not sure I can go with it. I mean, when was the last time we saw such public pressure on international leaders to quit "yes-ing" the US?
Let's not mistake the facts of what is happining with the actual sentiment. Regardless of whether or not we ARE forcing hands (and I think to some degree we certainly are), we are percieved as the one pushing everyone around. I think this, more than anything else, is fueling what looks like anti war sentiment.

How much WILL this isolate us? Economics aside (there's only so many times the US can say, "well, ok. No soup for you" before it comes back to hurt us).
