Too bad, Europe didn't take this course, while President Bush still had some power....

...and too bad we are about to take our own anti-American course.

Europe's New Pro-American Direction

Right when Obamania is taking America in an anti-American direction. Nice timing.

Agree. Europe will be kissing our (collective) ring once they’re completely overrun with Muzzies.

I like the way the author seems to imply there is a connection between the candidates choosing conservative governments and pro and anti-americanism.

As anywhere else, it is domestic issues which dominate the choice of candidate in an election, not the feelings the candidates have towards a foreign country....

I PRAY this means that the elected leaders of the West are FINALLY coming to grasp the magnitude of the threat posed by ISLAM.

I just hope it’s not too late!

All this has got to be an embarrassment to the Democrats. If they win it all then the USA will be the last remaining major Western anti-American power.

The doctrine of the Bush administration was that the US doesn't need Europe and it showed. Recent changes came over as insincere. No wonder Europeans are looking forward towards the next guy, and that doesn't necessarily mean Obama. McCain has the potential to be very popular in Europe, if he plays the "straight-talking maverick" card.

However, I'm not as optimistic about Berlusconi. It just means that the Mafia is back in power in Italy and that the Italian malady of zero growth and corruption will continue. Just search Google news for "Alitalia" (the national airline) and you'll know what I mean.

...and too bad we are about to take our own anti-American course.

Ironically, this not untrue. A recent study found out that Adolfinejad / Iran is several times more popular in the U.S. than in European nations like Germany.
