After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the world stood in solidarity with the United States.

Bush and Co. squandered that good will and support. Today, most people around the world do not have a favorable view of the United States. "On average across the 26 countries polled, 30 percent say the US is having a mostly positive influence in the world while 51 percent say the US is having a mostly negative influence." [Source]

If another 9/11 scale attack happens to the U.S., will the world care? Will anyone, including the British, ever help the U.S. again?

I'm aware that some Americans give no consideration to the rest of the world, and perhaps that's part of the problem for the U.S. and why it has become a target for some.

If Islamic terrorism was only an American problem then maybe, but you see increasingly more terrorist targets from Spain, to Britian to Germany. The world would care!
