Reason,
I have to agree... Since Sept 11 I've had to rethink my "anti-American" stance. Like many, it was my liberal university education that taught me to hate the twin evils of capitalism & imperialism. It goes without saying that these evils are represented by the United States.
Anti-Americanism is the academic "two minute" hate". According to the theory all evil stems from the United States. Write a few papers about the evil of capitalism/globalisation/Mc Donalds and hey presto, you've saved the world.
While I don't always agree with American policy decisions, living in a democratic United States would be far more preferable to life under the Taliban or any other totalitarion regime.
