A propos my post on the juvenile Thomas Friedman, two other relevant items:
From the EU Observer: "Europeans believe the United States contributes the most to world instability along with Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and North Korea."
From Counterpunch, Chomsky on "The Empire of the Men of Best Quality": "By early 2003, studies revealed that fear of the United States had reached remarkable heights throughout the world, along with distrust of the political leadership. Dismissal of elementary human rights and needs was matched by a display of contempt for democracy for which no parallel comes easily to mind, accompanied by professions of sincere dedication to human rights and democracy. The unfolding events should be deeply disturbing to those who have concerns about the world they are leaving to their grandchildren."
