...otherwise perfectly lucid individuals insist that the Europeans and their unmistakably anti-American cohorts don’t despise us at all. Crazy, I know, but I’ll continue for the sake of argument. This view attributes the world’s emulation of the United States not to a plan to eliminate our well-deserved dominant status, but to a feeling of admiration and a desire to share in our prosperity...
...reality is that people abroad like John Kerry for the same reason they like him back home: because they hate America. Call them anti-American or unpatriotic, respectively, but their underlying betrayal is the same: they want to seize our country and change it into something else. When European youth wear Levi’s jeans, watch Dawson’s Creek and read about the presidential debates in Der Spiegel, if not The New York Times, their enthusiasm for America may seem benign, but they are indeed preparing to participate in our country’s future and emasculate...
Indeed, most Islamic experts condemn the hostage murders for the same reason that--anti-American sentiment aside--they condemned the Sept. 11 attacks: the Prophet's prohibition on killing noncombatants, or, as he put it, "a woman or a child, or a hermit, a farmer plowing his field, [or] a person who is not carrying a weapon against you."

...Most of the negativity was directed toward the U.S. men's basketball team. The first NBA-stocked squad not to win gold was booed lustily, though as Spanish star Pau Gasol suggested, that may have been because the team was just plain bad. In truth, the Games weren't anti-American; they were anti-Goliath. Just ask the British sprinters who beat the supposedly unbeatable U.S. by a hair in the men's 4 x 100-m relay. Was victory sweeter because it came at the expense of the Cousins? You bet it was. And that win changed everything...
