"There's concern that America goes its own way rather than listening to its allies or seeking international approval," says Andrew Kohut, president of the Washington-based Pew Research Center. "The war in Iraq is the poster child for America behaving badly...

There are real anxieties, real differences on the big issues--the war and the economy. The cultural issues are less important now.
