Lost opportunity

For a short time after 9/11, the U.S. had the sympathy of much of the world. What a missed opportunity to do something positive with it, even as we faced the enemy now before us. But we had a cowboy in charge and more complicated personal relationships and myths at work than Shakespeare could handle. We blew it. We went after the wrong enemy for the wrong reasons. We blew it big time. We probably will never get an opportunity like that again.
