Luckily, American ignorance of the rest of the world has now begun to eat away at their power and, I must say, it is quite shocking to see the US in such a steep decline.

As Rummy said, there is OLD Europe and NEW Europe and the peoples who are still struggling for freedom. Only in the OLD world is the US viewed with dismay. The NEW Europe still understands greatness of this nation. Elsewhere, the peoples who long for freedom have been given a big shot in the arm and now have hope due to this president. The progress of freedom has been great in the last four years.
Decline?
The decline is in OLD Europe, i.e., anywhere, Europe or not, where socialism is strong.

You mean like Poland?
From the International Herald Tribune:
Poland announced Tuesday that it would withdraw all its troops from Iraq once the United Nations mandate for the multinational force expires in December.
"At the time of the expiry of the Security Council's mandate, meaning at the end of 2005, the operations of the Polish stabilization mission should be finished," Szmajdzinski said after the cabinet meeting. He said that Prime Minister Marek Belka's government would not in the meantime be committing troops to any new missions. "Belka's government will surely not make any new military commitments," Szmajdzinski said. "We are carrying out an exit strategy."
It would receive little public support for any new military missions. Public opinion, which backed the war in Iraq, changed after Pope John Paul II openly criticized the war.
