For those of us that travel overseas on a regular basis, we have seen a large increase in the amount of Anti-Americanism there is now because of the policies of the Bush Administration.
One group, 18DoughtyStreet.com, a British political web TV station, with Right Wing connections, is attempting to do something about it. They have created a two-minute video that they think will show the world what it would be like if there was never an America. Unfortunately, I think that they may actually be doing more harm that help.
The cases they make are so right wing in nature, you almost have to laugh at them. Are these the same guys that are trying comedy at FOX Noise?
Click here, if you don't have the video.
From the press release -
Through five fictional news reports from the 1950s onwards it portrays a world dominated by Soviet Russia and warns that much of the world'sprosperity and medical advances would have been lost.
18DoughtyStreet.com is the initiative of internet entrepreneur Stephan
Shakespeare and a number of Britain's most-read bloggers who have come
together to challenge the biases of establishment broadcasters and
mainstream parties.
Tim Montgomerie, Director of 18DoughtyStreet.com, said, ''For much of
the last fifty years Europe has benefited from America's security umbrella
and from the dynamism of American enterprise and science. The advert ends
by suggesting that if the US-led coalition had not intervened in Iraq the
world could now be being held to ransom by a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein."
It almost is saying, Europe should be kissing our asses and asking for seconds.
Of course, people like Michelle Malkin and David Frum of National Review love it, so you know that it is terrible and doomed to failure.
