Will we see one day America at Oprah's for a public therapy wondering: "why they all hate me?" The americaphile Dominic Hilton says Anti-Americanism is unfair and ign orant. Hilton speaks of the "ironic Europeans" and the "conspiratory arab streets" that condemn the U.S as a popular hobby. But not only. Anti-Americanism for Hilton is a lucrative industry, although he doesn't really explain what kind of business it is.

So, why does the world hate us? Hilton wonders. He answers: "I said, anti-Americanism is not as alarming as many Americans are making out. Much of it is not serious. In fact, I qualified, most America-thumping is pathetically hypocritical, embarrassingly imbecilic, perilously ruinous and, worst of all, as derisorily fashionable as those ludicrous woolly boots everyone’s presently sporting".

But the administration doesn't think the same and took different measures to improve the image of the US in the Arab world, especially by creating a radio channel, Sawa and a TV channel "Al Hurra" (the Free), both of them, I have to say, are a disaster in terms if rentability and efficienty. For Hilton, it's a waste of time to explain the American values to "middle eastern couch potatoes".

Hilton explains different kinds of Anti-Americanism and stresses out how we should thank America for being imperfect and for being able to critisize. But we shouldn't hate it though. After all, Anti-Americanism is just a deviation, says Hilton. "It helps non-Americans avoid focusing on their own big problems".

Summarizing the reasons of Anti-Americanism in America's power, Hilton says finally that Anti-Americanism starts...inside the U.S with people like...Michael Moore, who is one of the biggest exporters of Anti-Americanism. Yes, Mr Hilton, what a country!
