I don't know whether this was buried in US media, but it sure made
headline news in Greece. I received word from a friend there. The
resignation letter captures the people's sentiments quite accurately.

I urge you to listen to America¹s friends around the world. Even here in
Greece, purported hotbed of European anti-Americanism, we have more and
closer friends than the American newspaper reader can possibly imagine.
Even when they complain about American arrogance, Greeks know that the
world is a difficult and dangerous place, and they want a strong
international system, with the U.S. and EU in close partnership. When
our friends are afraid of us rather than for us, it is time to worry.
And now they are afraid. Who will tell them convincingly that the
United States is as it was, a beacon of liberty, security, and justice
for the planet?
