An incredibly insightful portrait of how Blue America sees the world, or how the world ought to be, and why Bush represents such a bracing tonic against it.

a shrewd American suggested that the danger is no longer US "physical isolationism" but rather "psychological isolationism". Americans, he argued, live increasingly in a different psychological reality to Europeans.


How about defining this as a spiritual awakening in America? A coming to the knowledge that there IS a Supreme Power (whose name is NOT Al Lah) and that belief in a Higher Power allows a person to acknowledge that he is not "elite" but that he is at one with "common man." This knowledge leads a person into empathy with others whether they are hurting or celebrating. This knowledge allows a connectedness to others. This connection then influences how a person acts, responds, and lives.

If I were a teen who'd lost a father on 9-11, I'd rather receive a hug from George W Bush than Jacques Chirac.

We Indians will quietly wait for our time to come. Maybe America can just abandon the sinking ship called "Europe" and concentrate more on Asia. Europe is history, tomorrow's sun shall shine on Asia.
