And that is a huge factor in the opinion that US citizens have. Many, many other countries are choosing their position entirely or partly on the possibility of retaliation, heck even Australia is afraid of retaliation! Turkey just doesn't want to be overrun, being at Iraq's northern border.

I would highly recommend a trip to Europe, to see and feel how terrorism is a daily thing. UK, France, Israel, Germany, just pick one, anyone.
