Comments on: Is anti-Americanism over in Europe?

Two quantum particles connected to each other, through both space and time.

How do you find the time to shuttle back and forth and be so knowledgeable about both? Do you live one week in America, the next in Australia, something like that, to gain this profound knowledge?

You tune in to the BBC, you get 15 minutes of US news, 15 minutes of British news, zero minutes of continental Europe news.

Truth is, despite what they may say when the pollster asks, a lot of those Euroweenies (just like Canadians) are absolutely obsessed with America and crave nothing as much as our attention.

praise heaven for that, at least.

Much like the fact that a majority of the American public now disapproves of Bush and his policies.

Or of course, you might keep on drinking what you Americans so charmingly refer to as the Kool-Aid. Enjoy.

(2) As someone who is part-Australian, I can tell you this: don’t know about the Poms but we are NOT with you. Most of us think the foreign policy neocons espouse are a danger to the US and to everyone else.

“…It will not make the US-Australian alliance relationship, already one of the world’s closest, that much tighter.”

Sorry to disappoint you, comrade. Maybe the part of you that isn’t Australian can hook up with North Korea.

Anti-Feeding the Hungry

From “let them eat cake” to “let them eat only natural foods while we jack up everything”.

I’m not convinced they have any more ideas we’re bound to respect. Not on their record, anyway.

(1) Yes, a lot of Southern Democrats were against civil rights. I never said otherwise. That’s why they became Republicans. Ever hear of the Southern Strategy?

(2) As someone who is part-Australian, I can tell you this: don’t know about the Poms but we are NOT with you. Most of us think the foreign policy neocons espouse are a danger to the US and to everyone else.

What is new here? But Euroutopia is crumbling now, the whole idea behind it was to construct a counterbalance against American might. Euroscepticism directly translates into Atlanticism as the only alternative to euroutopia. It would be instructive to see correlation in dynamic of these two trends.
