For many Americans, a more tangible and bitter image of anti-American 
sentiment abroad will be the scenes of some abroad celebrating the 
terrorist attacks on Americans. In the West Bank, thousands of 
Palestinians took to the streets to herald the attacks and express their 
happiness. And in Sierra Leone, Pakistani members of a United Nations 
peacekeeping force were laughing, smiling and slapping hands at the 
mission headquarters in Freetown. Other UN mission personnel jeered them 
and threw insults. Such scenes are likely to feed the impulse many 
Americans already harbor to withdraw inward.
