The most important political story of our time is the rise of the American Right and the near collapse of American liberalism. Ahhh, we can dream, can't we?

Apparently the people at the Observor aren't very damn observant. These people are getting what they deserve.

There'll always be an England . . . as long as America can afford one.

Somebody needs to tell American liberals that they are dead. This anti-American says so.
Strangely, I agree with his central premise (but not most of the article). Britain DOES need to decide whether its future resides with the euroweenies, or with the Americans.

Tony Blair is faced with a stark choice - either to ally himself to the increasingly conservative and intolerant US or be a fully engaged European Wow what a choice. Hard decision. Either be a New World Order Pussy like France, or side with the only country on earth that will risk its own neck for Britain!

Maybe he does. I'll bet he huffs his glue with both little pinkies in the air as well.

The Supreme Court's suspension of the Florida recount in December 2000, to gift the presidency to Bush, is part of the same story. There's that dead horse again...sheesh. I thought the european talking points would be slightly different.

An example of the rhetoric in the approaching conflict between the West and what Professor Willard McClay called the "Post-West."

But it's not the same good America. The postwar US that reconstructed Europe and led an international liberal economic and social order has disappeared completely. Its former leaders would no more volunteer the scale of defence spending now contemplated in the US - a 12 per cent, $48 billion increase on an already stunning military budget - while offering the less developed countries close to nothing in increased aid flows, debt relief and market access than fly to the Moon. Idiot!!! Maybe the author of this article forgot (or else is as ignorant of history as anything else), but we did fly to the moon.

Notice the words "September 11th" do not appear anywhere in this article.
Reading this, you get the idea that the USA just started attacking people entirely at random.

"Simplistic"? Simplistic: When European's stick their collective heads up their a$$.
Naive: A person who believes that the world is safe with Saddom on the loose.
Unilateral: A country who would pull it's troops out of the Korean Peninsula and Bosnia.
It's great to see liberals on the run accross the pond. Thanks to the internet and cable news, liberals are in trouble, even in Europe. This ones gabbing for something in desperation.

It remains the same good America that has been on the right side of the great conflicts of the last 100 years It certainly does remain the same good America and the European left remains the same stupid, wilfully ignorant Ostrich that ignored the rise of the Nazis, lauded the rise of Socialism/Communism and now wants to ignore the threat of Islamic fundamentalism and Middle Eastern tyrants. The European Axis of Ignorance and Apathy grows stronger every day.

Dangerous dictator he may be, but the unilateral decision to declare war upon another state without a casus belli other than suspicion will upset the fabric of law on which international relations rests, No. It's called nipping the tyrant in the bud, something which the Europeans still haven't leaned almost 50 years after Hitler.
$48 billion increase on an already stunning military budget - while offering the less developed countries close to nothing in increased aid flows, debt relief and market access
Or maybe we've come to the conclusion that throwing money at countries who wallow in corruption is a colossal waste.

Mr. Hutton, you sniveling Eurotrash communist, I hope the patriotic American conservatives remain your worst nightmare for ages to come!
