...June, favorable opinions of the United States among European citizens ranged from a dismally slim 23 percent among Spaniards, to a lackluster 56 percent in Great Britain. The last few weeks alone have seen German lawyers, buoyed by anti-American sentiment, file suit against recently resigned Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for committing war crimes under international law. But from where do such sentiments arise?One reason frequently bandied about is that, in autocratic states like Saudi Arabia, students are taught to resent the United States during their formative years of schooling.

A war games simulation in 1999 suggested that more than 400,000 ground troops would be required in order to maintain stability in a post-invasion Iraq, but only about one-third of that number is there...
