Yet the United States seems to have lost the power of persuasion, the ability to make allies and win international support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy? Immediately after the terrorist attacks of 9\/11, leaders and citizens of foreign nations generally expressed sympathy for the United States. Since then, attitudes have changed. Drawing upon public opinion surveys conducted in 30 nations, Ole R. Holsti documents an increasing anti-American sentiment. His analysis suggests that the war in Iraq, human rights violations, and unpopular international policies are largely responsible. Consequently, the United States can rebuild its repute by adopting an unselfish, farsighted approach to global issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndeed, the United States must restore goodwill abroad, Holsti asserts, because public opinion indirectly influences the leaders who decide whether or not to side with the Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOle R.
