...if you have a spare half hour, an article on anti-Americanism at home and abroad

I have not, sadly, had a full half hour, but the first few paragraphs bring to mind an analogy I once used, in explaining the 'yankees suck' thing to a visitor from New Zealand:

"You know how a lot of people around the world feel about the US? That's how a lot of people in the US feel about New York."

I think maybe that analogy could be turned the other way to illustrate anti-american sentiment, to people who understand the "yankees suck" mentality.
