I think the saddest part is that the US had everyone (in the Western world at least) eating from the palm of their hands after the 9/11 attacks. We all had the feeling of how we'd taken the US for granted, and how horrible it was to see 'the big guy' take a hit like that essentially for the rest of us. We all gathered in line to go into Afghanistan and get the assholes responsible.
And then Bush set his sights on Iraq...
