Who cares about opinions. The average citizen has no say in what will or will not be done. This isn't the 60's rosy. If we can invade another nation and hone their resources we'll do it,

In my opinion, Iraq becoming a great democratic nation could never justify the war on terror, WMDs, going against the UN etc.
Do I think the world as a whole would 'forgive' America? Yes, mostly. In the long term. Especially since the Bush government has done such a good job defending itself so far.
America is a superpower and other countries will need to learn to get along. like you said, its all about the sciene, trade, military relationships.

No, we'll get no credit. There'll be a cottage industry of international press and book writers trying to explain how Iraq turned out well despite Bush and all of the American mistakes though...

Yeah because its the rest of the world who are wrong and not you bush supporters... Not you few hundreds thousand, the other few billion who must be wrong right?
This is why people hate America, and its foreign policies. To you nothing you can do is wrong, its the whole world who is wrong, and like you pointed out you dont need permission to do whatever the hell you like on this globe.
I think the Bush Administration has done a TERRIBLE job defending themselves, there are so many things they could have explained better. They don't have to let Bush speak all the time, saddly I feel embarrased sometimes for us Conservative-republicans when he talks. He isn't Charismatic, he isn't well learned, he doesn't have a broad Vocabulary, I'm sure he writes his own speaches.
