LOL! It won't affect our credibility very much. Other countries haven't been taking us seriously in regards to freedom and human rights for awhile. Besides, I thought the opinion of others didn't matter. Don't be such a multilateralist. Do you think we need the permission of countries like France in order to kill an innocent person?
well, it's not all that cut and dry. it never really is, you know. Abu Graib left a stain because the MSM people wanted it to ruin Bush's efforts and image. They would have nearly succeeded. you see, the left hates America and they were looking for a smoking gun from the beginning of Bush's first term. tried telling people Bush stole the election - failed at that. tried telling people Bush lied about the war - failed at that. tried pinning Abu Graib at Bush and co. and failed at that. the left has nothing - left. Bush has a second term and cases like Terri Schiavo are being talked about and the silent majority wakes up and starts raising questions and starts fighting for their morals and beliefs.
America brought the sexual & cultural revolution to the world and America will bring the counter revolution to the world and spread a new culture based on morals and based on faith.
