Democrats can't wrap themselves around the concept that the world hates the U.S. from a combination of the envy and hatred that the strongest power in the world always attracts, as well as (in the case of certain countries, especially France) anger at the loss of their own past power.With Dubya in office, Old Europe had an additional anger, because they didn't like his messing up their belief that THEY were NATO's political wing and the U.S. was NATO's military wing. The idea that the U.S. could start a war without their approval and that they might actually be called upon to fight messed up their minds. Obama thought that if we gave away U.S. power the world would love us; he was partly right, if you think that replacing fear with contempt equals love. |
