I don't really understand these rambling sentences, so if you want to explain further I'll respond. I didn't skip your numbers, mainly because I didn't see any. I don't know any expert named Word View either. Saying 'I saw some dudes on TV' is hardly a qualified cite or source. On the other hand I've given you an in-depth look at 'world opinion' of the US post 9/11 and pre-Iraq. What is shows is that the dividend the US had from 9/11 sympathies clearly had ALREADY waned before Iraq, which is exactly in line with my response to you. It was not the intervention in Iraq that spent the dividend. It was the War on Terror, as well as other factors. You may now argue that anti-americanism got WORSE after our intervention in Iraq. That is logical and most data supports that. However, that is MUCH different from portraying some 'universal' cooperative sentiment as a result of 9/11 that was destroyed by Iraq. Simply not true. And you've also skipped the answer to your claim that there were only a 'few people' that believed we 'got what we deserved' or 'had it coming,' and that somehow those few were just overcovered in the news. Simply not true and Derluguian points this out.
