The Arab League consists of 22 members and has come out against our government's actions in Libya:

The African Union consists of 53 members and is also against our government's intervention in Libya:

Also, China and Russia have condemned our government's actions towards Libya:

This means a possible 77 countries are angry with our government. Not to mention others that already (definitely) hate us, like Venezuela, Iran, North Korea...
Should regular citizens of America (like ourselves) be worried about the retaliation that could come from this third war we are now becoming involved in? I mean, is it possible that all of these countries will decide to team up on us?
After all, Qaddafi has promised a "long war" with the western world: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/Gaddafi-vows-long-war-after-US-allies-strike/articleshow/7749849.cms
All I can see coming from this bullshit is higher prices and a possibly even the collapse of the United States (overseas) Empire. Not that the latter wouldn't be that bad... (from a foreign policy standpoint) - or am I wrong? I mean, as Ron says, we either voluntarily come home, or we involuntarily come home when we are finally kicked out - and if the latter happens, we will definitely be seen as defeated, contrary to what the neo-cons say, that leaving now would be seen as such.
