Against us. That is, the U.S. It amazes me how so many liberals think that truth is the product of a popularity contest. The world doesn't like what we are doing, therefore we are wrong. I can't figure out if they really believe this stuff or if it's just a convenient way to attack the conservatives, but there is such a shock evident when we ignore the U.N. that I think they must really be serious. I think they need to grow up. Maybe a country disagrees with the war in Iraq because they were doing business with Iraq and we've taken out their customers!
It reminds me of a book I read in graduate school, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. It propounded "constructivism" - the idea that truth is the construct of the beliefs of the community of scientists. Dear ones, if every scientist on the face of the earth believes they will live forever, the market in tombstones will not change. Believing doesn't make it so. And... the right course of action for the freest country on earth shouldn't be submitted to a referendum of the tyrants.
