Well they are wrong. So what should we do when our allies have misperceptions about our goals? Fight the war on terror in the way they think it should be fought or fight the war on terror in the way that we think it should be fought to protect ourselves?
I hope no US president would cater so much to our allies that he or she would act in a way that would endanger the American people. You happen to agree with some of our allies.
GWB and many Americans believed pre-invasion and still believe that invading Iraq will help to stop terrorism. If our allies don't believe that, the president shouldn't do what the allies want over what his administration and the people of America believe is necessary to defend this country against terrorists.
