Interesting article. The phrase "American Anti-Europeanism" catches a certain reality well. The author took a left turn away from credibility with this statement though: I found that the post–September 11 sense that America is at war persists more strongly in Washington than anywhere else in America, including New York.[17] It persists, above all, in the heart of the Bush administration. The "war against terrorism" strengthened an existing tendency among the Republican elite to believe in what Robert Kaplan has called "Warrior Politics," with a strong seasoning of fundamentalist Christianity—something conspicuously absent in highly secularized Europe. I think that he misreads the mood, which might better be characterized as split, ambivalent or mixed and then disses the idea that America could feel they are at war. With this statement, he makes the case that I think he is arguing against. Paul
