Beyond The News -- A Daily Commentary From Salem Communications September 07, 2004
No Quick Fix for Anti-Americanism --Michael Medved In his presidential campaign, John Kerry promises single-handedly to rebuild the worldwide popularity of the United States. In so doing, he ignores the true depth of anti-American fanaticism. A June poll of Canadian teenagers shows over 40 percent who describe the United States as "evil"--a number that rises to 64 percent for French Canadians. If so many youngsters in our neighbor to the north see America as "evil"--not just imperfect or misguided--it's unrealistic to expect that a simple change of presidential leadership will alter perceptions of the very nature of our society. In fact, anti-Americanism didn't begin with Bush and it won't end if Bush leaves office. Nearly 50 years ago, Venezuelan leftists attacked Vice President Nixon with rocks, and Reagan's anti-Communist policies drew millions of protestors to European streets. As the dominant power on earth--militarily, economically and culturally--we'll always draw resentment from lesser nations, even if John Kerry wins the White House. Michael Medved is the host of The Michael Medved Show. (http://www.michaelmedved.com/) Additional Resources: Eh, tu, Canada?
