A few news sites had the headline that Cheney says (in his book) that the war in Iraq didn't hurt our reputation in the world. Well it might have helped a reputation that if you get on our bad side that we will destroy you. After 9/11 we had tremendous inflow of sympathy and good feeling from the rest of the world. When we invaded a Muslim country because of violation of UN regulations, where the UN did not want us to do this, we wiped out any positive reputation that we had gained and showed that we were a power to be feared. Articles yesterday talked about Cheney still being very positive about using torture for interrogation. Remind me why he isn't a war criminal?
