View from Australia

Do US citizens care anymore how the rest of the world views them ?. Daniel Pipes article naming these professors, whatever one thinks about him is wrong . Particularly now that we have seen that this Iraq war was based on lies. Publicly naming these teachers in the press is worthy of one of the Stalinist states during the height of communism. Probably one of the most un-democratic acts , amongst so many since 9/11, when Americans seem to abandon any semblence of a Democracy in its quest for revenge. Many of us still hold great sympathy for the USA but it's new right wing agenda is rampaging through decency and rights that have taken over 200 years to obtain..the ultimate losers will be the US people themselves. Even to state a view like this, I know I risk being named as anti-American, yet the opposite is true.
