Hi Ernest!

I’ve read this book by John Gibson. Gibson, IMHO, is one of the “ordinary” experts that America grows in bumper crops. He may not know anything about, say, early Indian artifacts, but when it comes to Anti-Americanism in the EU, John Gibson is the “go to” guy. It’s beyond the comprehension of the EUs that an ordinary man who has an established position in a world class organization should just one day decide to study on something else. From all that I have observed over the years, so many EUs got to one definition of themselves and just stayed there. This is also what I got from this first installment of the BBC seires.

There's also Robert W. Kagan's Dangerous Nation which argues the reason we're hated is we MUST spread freedom and free markets. Its in our genes and there will always be those who will hate us for WHO we are. We're dangerous precisely because we are the first universal nation in history. Our ideas can work anywhere and those who hate America hate her because they know that they do. It can't be helped and that is a very good thing indeed.
