    About this ebook

    John Gibson is one of the Fox News Channel's most outspoken personalities. Now, as the aftershocks of the war in Iraq reverberate around the world, Gibson exposes the outrageous tenor of anti-American sentiment filling newsprint and airwaves beyond our borders and how disagreements over policy have mushroomed into poisonous hatred.

    "I loathe America . . . and what it has done to Iraq and the rest of the helpless world."
    —Margaret Drabble, British novelist

    From the "Arab street" to the halls of even the most historically friendly foreign governments, extreme anti-Americanism has grown disturbingly pervasive throughout the world since the shell-shocking moment of 9/11. Over the year that followed, Gibson writes, "I began to watch the overseas press with a morbid fascination punctuated by bursts of outrage. The things that were being said about America and Americans were marked by an off-the-charts level of venom, a scandalous parade of mistaken assumptions, an endless font of suspicion, mistrust, and the promulgation of outright, willful lies. The viciousness of commentary on America was breathtaking."

    "Damn Americans. Hate those bastards."
    --Carolyn Parrish, Canadian parliament member

    And, as Gibson traces, the hate speech has gone well beyond the usual suspects in the Middle East, infecting our erstwhile allies in Europe, Asia, and even Canada. British Prime Minister Tony Blair complained that "some of the rhetoric I hear used about America is more savage than some of the rhetoric I hear about Saddam and the Iraqi regime." Presumptuous Belgian officials attempted to bring American officials up on war-crimes charges. And special hatred was reserved for President George W. Bush, whom one Australian newspaper dismissed as "the village idiot."

    As America defends its security in the ongoing war on terror, Gibson argues, we must be prepared to face this growing tide of resentment abroad, which will only result in serious consequences for the haters themselves. For the anti-Americans, he argues, would "like us to forget that those who hate us may eventually try to kill us -- because they now know that we will never allow that to happen without exacting a price on those who would attempt it."

      It's exactly the arrogant and ignorant attitude displayed in this book that has caused so much anti-Americanism in the world! Excuse me, but I read the comments he made about Canada (I'm Canadian) and they are the height of ignorance. First off, please do tell me how we can be so utterly "insignificant" and "dependent" on the U.S. when the U.S. relies very much on our natural resources, not to mention on the fact that they have a friendly neighbour to the north that has assisted them in times of trouble (ex. hostages in Iran, 911, Hurricane Katrina, etc. etc). It goes both ways you know! The U.S. could have a hostile nation next door to it that would cause a hell of a lot of trouble. Maybe they ought to remember that! And please tell me what country the U.S. has ever had to "protect" us from since the only country that has EVER attacked us on home soil has been the U.S. itself!! Not only that, but the times when we have had issues with other countries, it has often been because of helping the U.S. (ex. helping U.S. hostages in Iran in '79.) Lastly, I am bloody sick of Americans whining about Canada refusing to get involved in what we saw as an unethical invasion of Iraq. NO, most of us do NOT regret it! Can you say that most Americans do not regret having started that war because a recent survey says they do regret it! Excuse me, but if one of us should be upset about the other not going to war, I'd say Canada and the rest of the Allies in WWII have more of a reason to be upset at the U.S. sitting out that war till Pearl Harbour and selling supplies to the Nazis while our boys were dieing. Honestly, it's the kind of ignorance from this author that makes me wish I was not a next-door neighbour to such a self-involved, arrogant nation (and I apologize to those Americans who don't say crap like this guy but I have heard these ridiculous statements soooooo often!)

      A remarkable piece of fiction so outlandish and ignorant that it could only be born in the bowels of FOX News. A sad death of journalism.
