The United States has drained its supply of international goodwill that came flowing in after the 9/11 attacks. Over the past few years, America's global image has slipped exponentially, and support for the war on terror has declined not only in predominantly Muslim countries but in Europe and Asia as well. American foreign policy is being criticized for unapologetic unilateralism, unwavering support for Israel and an exportation of Western-centric democracy to the world. Is the United States engaging in tactics that warrant criticism? Is this international environment a threat to U.S. security? Join INFORUM as panelists spotlight international perspectives on American foreign policy and explore remedies for the current predicament.
