6. Is America the 'good guy'? Many now say, 'No.'
   A year ago today, Americans were stunned by a brutal attack that revealed deep resentment against US power. America – from a pinnacle of military, economic, and political might unmatched in history – responded with force. In what it has cast as a battle between good and evil, the US toppled the Taliban and is now threatening 'regime change' in Iraq. But Americans see their global role differently from the way others see it. So the Monitor asked people in 16 countries this question: 'Is America the good guy?'
