The Independent is pretty unbiased but it obviously has opinions. In terms of its politics, it is middle of the road.

You might not like the message but that has very little to do with bias. The fact is that the U.S. is increasingly isolated on many fronts which is made obvious by its the worldwide popularity polls. Nobody could have imagined in 2000 that in internationals polls the U.S. would rate as one of the most dangerous nations to peace.

The article reflects that view from an economic but also pragmatic "doing business" standpoint. The U.S. has gradually extended its laws to the world in general and such action is never appreciated by a sovereign state. As an example, just look at the paranoia in U.S. right wing circles about the U.N.. On the international scene, however, the U.N. is mostly not seen as a threat whereas the extension of U.S. law is seen as one. The article by a paper from the U.K., the U.S.' closest friend, is an excellent illustration of the concerns of foreign companies and investors.
