America's image of weakness is being exploited by Salafists and al-Qaida actively in North Africa from Somalia to Mali-Der Spiegel

.
This translates to great danger at home for innocent Americans. Which some people are gleeful about.

"From Die Welt

"Obama was naive to believe that one only needed to adopt a new tone and show more respect in order to dispel deep-seated reservations about the free world....But Washington has provided the image of a distracted superpower in the process of decline to the societies there. This image of weakness is being exploited by Salafists and al-Qaida, who are active in North Africa from Somalia to Mali."

"One thing is clear: If jihadists believe they can attack American installations and kill an ambassador on the anniversary of Sept. 11, then America's deterrent power has declined considerably. For a superpower, it is not enough just to want to be loved. You have to scare the bad guys to keep them in check."" via Free Republic
