I think this is somewhat of a wasted effort as I am almost certain every other country involved is in exactly the same situation hell I havent recieved my xmas card from the Salvation Army and I think I deserve one for my $50 donation but then from an american view point its obvious they hate me?
Challenging someone to find an incidence of positive acclaim with no negatives is an impossibility as almost all involvement falls into the winners and losers catagory.
As for your triple dog dare... well I really cant be bothered looking too hard but a quick google threw this up so it will do as a "quick" response.

This concerns the war in Iraq and as we know that started receiving negative response from the get go.
I triple dog dare you to show me where in the past 10 years the US has been given any kind of positive acclaim in the international community with no one at all to naysay what was done.
You can't. There will always be news outlets that will criticize what the US has done. That is the entire point I was trying to make. No matter what we do, whether it be good, bad or stay neutral there will be several someones to criticize the US and it's actions. Then you will have more and more people jump on the bandwagon and start in on conspiracy theories and all this other jazz.
But all this aside, what to do with the detained personnel at GITMO? If you say release them then I ask under what circumstances? The reason I ask this is because that is popular consensus. But their countries of origins don't want them back. So what to do with them?
