How The Foreign Press Will View America After The Election

Sean Kinsell, an American living in Japan, has a truly excellent (I'd almost say must-read) analysis of how the press generally views America and her Presidents--and how the foreign press and those in other nations are likely to view America after our elections are over. The difference between a Kerry victory and a Bush victory that he predicts, based on what he's seen over the years, will probably surprise a lot of Americans. And he's got the history to back it up.

yeah, it always amazes me that the democrats try to pretend that we (Canadians) really loved you to the ends of the earth when Clinton was in charge. I haven't heard the rhetoric change at all in the last 4 years.

Thanks for the link, as always, Dean. I just want to point out, again, that most of my "history to back it up," in the sense of citations, comes from a single link. I'm confident that the record supports what I say, but I don't want to misrepresent myself.

You've got that plus your own memories, Sean.

We America will either be perceived as gun-wielding maniacs or as paper tigers. I prefer the former.

My memory doesn't always even tell me where my keys are, Dean. :) But then, absent-mindedly throwing your keys on the counter is probably less likely to stick in the memory than the sort of news report that makes you thunder, "WTF do you think you're talking about, you commie idiot?" at the TV.
