Until now, anti-Americanism has been exaggerated and much misunderstood: outside a leftist hardcore, it has mostly been anti-Bushism, opposition to this specific administration. But if McCain wins in November, that might well change. Suddenly Europeans and others will conclude that their dispute is with not only one ruling clique, but Americans themselves. For it will have been the American people, not the politicians, who will have passed up a once-in-a-generation chance for a fresh start – a fresh start the world is yearning for.
And the manner of that decision will matter, too. If it is deemed to have been about race – that Obama was rejected because of his colour – the world’s verdict will be harsh.

At first I read this as “garden tool.” Ho?
baldilocks on September 9, 2008 at 11:13 PM
Just one more reason to vote McCain/Palin. When will the rest of the world realize this?
Bennett on September 9, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Well, Jonathan Freedland, to paraphrase Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech: we don’t vote to get into foreigners’ good graces, we vote to do what is right for the American people.

Screw what they think. They can’t fix their own problems and they are telling us what to do!

I’m just hoping they start an another outreach campaign to the bitter masses in Ohio (and throw in Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania) to enlighten them and the lead them to the Obamessiah.
obladioblada on September 9, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Ill never ever ever forgive them for being so stupid as to give the Russians those at-their-time advanced Rolls Royce jet engines right before the cold war. Without those I am sure we wouldn’t have had half the problems we did in the last 50 years.

Americans should care about this as much as they’d care if this dude doesn’t get laid.
He is realistic, however.
You will, loud and clear.
baldi, you made me laugh tears.
Entelechy on September 9, 2008 at 11:24 PM
When Palin, I mean McCain, wins, I hope he makes good on that promise to stop sending money to nations “that don’t like us very much”.

Kind of reminds us what the American Revolution was all about. We ain’t them.

When has the world forgiven us? Or, for that matter, thanked us?

Oh, no! I’m glad he told us that. Well,…hey, the Raiders really looked bad last night didn’t they?

Nobody in the world like us NOW according to Democrats, so what exactly do we have to lose?
Maxx on September 9, 2008 at 11:28 PM
So, um…I read that, and then I went and sent the McCain/Palin campaign fifty bucks.
Yeah, I know they can only use it for the compliance fund…but it still made me feel better.

Hey Freedland! I’m sending you a sign-language message right now.
soundingboard on September 9, 2008 at 11:28 PM
This guy must be working for Rove. I know of nothing that raises the ire of the country more than some effete sanctimonious european douchebag telling us what the repercussions to us will be if we don’t elect the piece of filth that they want.

Will they be sending out the obnoxious letters again this year?? Those worked so well last time ;0.
Illinidiva on September 9, 2008 at 11:32 PM
We’re not voting for president of the world, we’re voting for the President of the United States of America. The opinions of any other nation mean exactly diddly-squat. If the Euros love the man so much, then let them elect him to be President of the EU.
KSgop on September 9, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Europe can keep its socialist fascism. We don’t want it.

Hannibal Smith on September 9, 2008 at 11:33 PM
LOL!! Come on Yanks (sorry, my fellow Americans)… can’t we think of a pleasant way to tell the British what a nation of w*nkers they are? And how they should vote for their own government before they bleat about ours?
Fortunata on September 9, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Is this the same tool who had Guardian readers write letters to Ohioans in 2004? It was some fool from the Guardian, and it backfired on them.
Hears hoping they try that little project again, but this time also in CO, PA, MI, and so forth.

Asher on September 9, 2008 at 11:40 PM
America stopped caring about what the Euro-peons wanted in January of 1784. I see no reason to start now.
Exit question: Don’t a bunch of Euro countries still owe us from WWII?
If memory serves from US History class, we bankrolled post-war Europe to the tune of ~13 mil. dollars (anyone know if that’s current US$ value or 1950’s US$ value?). Any word on them paying us back for helping rebuild their ruined civilizations?
Harpazo on September 9, 2008 at 11:40 PM
The world’s verdict? What does that mean? Does anybody care? LMAO. Heck no! Silly British twit.
gator70 on September 9, 2008 at 11:40 PM
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
Harpazo on September 9, 2008 at 11:41 PM
At least they haven’t made any thinly veiled or overt death threats against the republican candidates. In 2004, there were 3 or 4 of them. Kept the FBI busy.
Blake on September 9, 2008 at 11:42 PM
Meaning… what, exactly? Are they going to show up at my house and try to spank me?
Because, you know that would be much more “harsh” than any “verdict” they were ever prepared to issue re: Milosevic or Hussein — or Ahmadinejad or Putin, or Mugabe, or…

Tengripundit on September 9, 2008 at 11:45 PM
They want us to go down the commie tube with them. We asked them to join us in some real liberty after WW2, and they said America did not have enough history to tell Europe anything. Now they are drowning. Their only hope is the DEMS. giving America’s riches away to them, (UN,GLOBAL CARBON TAX…)

Ms. E., I bet your friends back in Romania (and the rest of E. Europe, especially Georgia) would rather have us elect a Pubbie prez with a pair of brass ballz than a pansyazz Neville Chamberlain wannabe.
Tony737 on September 9, 2008 at 11:57 PM
I also enjoyed the same column the first time Mr. Freedland wrote it back in 2004.
aquaviva on September 9, 2008 at 11:58 PM
One of the mistakes in Jonathan Freedland’s reasoning is a supposition that “the world” can have an opinion or render a “verdict.” Another is a supposition that anyone can be hurt by what someone else thinks of him.
Jonathan Freedland! I am beaming my dislike for you across the ocean! Feel the pain of my disdain! Is your skin crisping yet? No? D*mn. Well, then, I will project my low opinion of you to the masses! My disgust is spreading like wildfire around the world! I have united the whole world against you! We are all focusing our purest hatred upon you! Not really! We are blowing kisses at you! Can you tell the difference? Hey! You! Are you listening to me or not? Speak up!

I think it is time to put the world on notice that the United States has finished surging the entire planet and all governments that have ridden our coattails for the past half century must now budget for their own military defense.
Those who step up to the plate will be rewarded with a mutual defense treaty. Those who read the Guardian and insist on punishing the United States because we didn’t elect Obama can deal with Moscow and Tehran.
Adios suckers, welcome to your new world.
winemkr on September 10, 2008 at 12:14 AM
The retards in Kadima (and the other morons orbiting them in the government) have been trying to do exactly that harder than anyone. Olmert will be found to still be drawing up partition plans for Jerusalem as he is finally dragged off to jail …

Well we don’t want a Chamberlain wannabe either, so shut the phuq up and solver your own problems, little Achmed over there wants to rule your country and add it to the caliphate.

Winebabe on September 10, 2008 at 1:04 AM
I would … but I just don’t care about the Europeans enough to even try and warn them. If they’re too stupid and ungrateful, then screw ‘em.
I especially like how these Euro-weenies think they know anything about the US. If they did, their own countries would be just as good as ours and they wouldn’t be stupidly trying to stick their noses into our business. We’ve been around for, to quote their own great ZERObama, “four centuries” … heh … and none of these European “geniuses” has figured out how to match our freedom, growth, production, …. even though we’ve been doing it all in the open! What morons.

I wouldn’t mind that they are such insufferable pompous, sanctimonious weenie w*nkstains with no influence and no balls. It’s that they (the British) actually think that everybody likes them and looks up to them. THAT’S what makes me hope they’ll get nuked!!! Ha!!!!

If you don’t have the guts, go cry in the corner and quit acting like you have a claim to any of our rights. You have NO SAY in whom we elect, unless you immigrate and vote. Oh, and I mean legally immigrate. If you try it any other way I hope you get shot by a border guard or minuteman.
You want Obama so much? Get him to leave our country and come to yours. Otherwise, f**k off and quit telling us what to do. We are the boss. We tell YOU what to do. AMERICA! F**K YEAH!

For the past eight years I’ve heard so much about how the whole world hates us. I wasn’t happy about it, but I guess I’m used to it by now.

I think that it is important to understand that “The World” will generally support anything that knocks America down and allows them to pick up the scraps from the fallout. The anti-American attitude is all about jealousy. It is about wanting what we have and not a whole lot else.
I sent an email to The Guardian over this piece, but I figure they will give my complaint about as much credence as I give their shoddy journalism.

BITE ME, YOU LIMEY SOCIALIST TWIT!!!
Always Right on September 10, 2008 at 6:35 AM
Well, I had been fearing the rush toward one global government but I’m more excited now than ever before to vote McCain/Palin if it means we get to be the solitary beacon of freedom in the entire world for another 4 to 8 more years and not beholden to the impotent UN for everything.
Another thing: what, exactly, do these euro liberals think Obama IS to them? Gosh, I wish people would just try a little harder not to appear like flaming (reverse, affirmative action happy) racists all the time. sheesh.

I made the mistake of reading this last night before going to bed. Showed it to my wife, too. My whole body was tense. I mean every muscle in my body was clenched. I sat down in the living room hoping I could relax a little bit. Instead, I got up, opened my back door and screamed EUROPE SUCKS!!!
It must have been a good, loud scream. My throat’s still a little raw. But it felt good and I slept well.

Easily the most preposterous part of the essay. China, Russia, Cuba, Egypt, Saudi Arabia apparently also = Free World. (snicker)
More importantly though, who cares? The world’s reaction will be… what exactly, and of what practical use is world opinion? What are they going to do, return the billions in financial and military aid we send them every year?
Have fun with that, “World”. Kinda hard to complain with your mouth full of America’s golden teet.

I have concerns regarding any foreign national attempting to influence any US election.
Quite frankly, if you wish to influence an election, please immigrate legally, obtain the rights as Americans to vote in the US elections, and cast your vote.
Until you do that, stay in your lane!

Once in a generation? What a low opinion of blacks they must have to make this claim.

The fact that the World supports Obama is even more reason to get out and vote for McCain/Barracuda
