Let's see here. . .the "Muslim and Arab world" thinks it is fine to fly jets into US city-sized buildings, sprinkle anthrax around our country. . .and now you claim the US is "out-of-sync with the rest of the world's opinion." !?
When did I say this? Don't put words into my mouth, I was talking about US foreign policy, not the beliefs and actions of some fanatics. Also, I seriously doubt the Muslim and Arab world in general finds terrorist attacks acceptable. Don' let a bunch of crazies fool you into believing they are all against us or condone those terrorists' actions.

Perhaps you should consider that the only thing the US has been "out-of-sync with" has been the brutality that these people use to gain their "warrior status."
Warrior status? Show me where in Islam one can acheive a 'warrior status.' Once again, the implication is that if someone does not agree with some of the USA's foreign policies, they are apologists for the terrorists. I'll reiterate- The terrorist attacks were by no means justified whatsoever.

What I'm saying is that many in the world do not agree with our foreign policy. Not just the Muslim/Arab regions, but the world as a whole. Does that mean they are right? No. Does that mean we are right? No. The answer, like so many things, probably lies somewhere in the middle of the two viewpoints. We should be better able to understand why there is a divergence of opinion, and, as the world leader we are, try and create a solution that will please the majority on both sides.
