If we have been isolated from many of our allies over one operation, they weren't really our allies to begin with. Who are we isolated from? France? Not much of a contributer IMO and largely irrelevant on the world stage. Germany? Spain will pay a price for what they did as will many others.
While I agree completely with the theory, I think we use the word "allies" a little loosely. Maybe its time to dump some of the WWII and WWIII allies for some new friends. Perhaps we should support Russia more in their fight against the Chechnyan AWGs and worry less about what France has to say, for example.
The renewed anti-semitism and resistance to our support for Israel in Europe is very troubling to me.
