This smacks of cheap anti Americanism
- happyscrappy 11y agoThe US could do like France and just make it legal to spy on everyone, but it would be a hard bill to pass.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoAs an American, I can say without a doubt that the anti-Americanism we're generating throughout the world is not cheap to generate. Be a bully, get treated like a bully.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoWell not that America does herself any favors - however there is a strain of european anti americanism. But of course they love Le McDonald's and Le Coke Cola ;-) Back when I worked for the .coop registry we found this as some of the European coop considered the internet a Capatiist/CIA plot. There is also the older and dieing out British Tory's who blame you for the loss of empire.

There are plenty of reasons for this. > But of course they love Le McDonald's and Le Coke Cola. I personally don't buy either product because they both taste gross to me, but even if I did, how would that be relevant to US foreign policy or treatment of whistleblowers?
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoI wasn't talking about post 9/11 issues but the post ww2 settlement and the rise of the USA as a super power. And I could think of EU country that treat whistle blowers badly or behave badly in pursuit of foreign policy
