Feeling sorry for ourselves? There's been lots of hand wringing about how "we're changed forever" and "things will never be the same". Is this what you mean? Or do you mean the part where we seem to be saddled with maintaining world order while hindered by other countries who seem to want us to do all the dirty work while they sit on their hands? I'd say we're owed some gratefulness not an attack. We're gonna find who our friends/allies are now. And we're gonna find the OTHER side too and hopefully beat them back into the woodwork for a few more years or decades. Henry
