Yes, some people want to censor information about anti-American sentiment in some countries. ...good thing that I didn't post the following to begin with.
Blair beefed up his Iran speech to please Bush
The Telegraph By Toby Harnden in Washington and Patrick Hennessy
(Filed: 28/05/2006)
"
Only three hours before the speech was delivered, Downing Street officials were briefing journalists that the Prime Minister would stress that "change should not be imposed" on Iran, reflecting the British view that bombing or invading Iran is not a realistic option." [And much about "climate change"--a majority western European movement to dishonestly interfere with American markets.]
And some people were very angry about the following posts, but we should know the truth about which nations have strong sentiments against our election choices and defense efforts. We are no longer lowly "colonials" and shouldn't be treated as such with dishonest, condescending outbursts or censorship efforts from the shadows.

And I have the least respect for Americans who harbor Euro-identity compulsions to the extent of opposing our (and our closer eastern and southern hemisphere allies') interests.
I have no beefs with some British FRers such as Ivan here, but there is no denying that a higher proportion of Britons are Euroist than 15 years ago, and given time seems to be on their side, who knows what happens then. Over the years I have noticed anyone who posts anti-anti-American articles, whether it be on a Christian board, this forum, or blogs, the most negative nyets in response are from Britons who style themselves conservatives/New Labour and "America's friends" (in other words, they are anti-[anti-anti-American] i.e. they tacitly agree with much of anti-Americanism).
But anyway, the way I see it, I agree that we are witnessing a shift of international balance of power and if the trends continue, all nations that really matter on the international stage in the future will be Asian and the US itself. Your (and our) national interests will become increasingly focussed on our parts of the world, and European nations may go down the route of being a more glorified Sweden. Australia, Japan and India are nations that will matter, Britain probably not much, and Germany...forget it.
