2, Discuss how President George W. Bush invaded Iraq even though many other countries, including U.S. allies, disapproved, and how he also renounced several international treaties.
3, Reveal how these and other unilateral actions such as the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and at Guantanamo caused anti-American sentiments not only in the Muslim world, but also in Western Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Russia.
