"KENYANS, it seems, are enthralled in equal measure by America and China, a finding from the Pew Research Centre's Global Attitudes Survey that may reflect Barack Obama's Kenyan ancestry"
Look at the table, approval of the U.S. was similar during the Clinton era.

I don't think they understood that you wanted them to see the link inside my link. That table also shows that the main issue was Bush and his policies (clear dip during his years in office).
Isn't "Anti-Americanism" merely another stakeholder choice and motivation in the free market of ideas, as are things like "Anti-Brazilism", "Anti-Franceism", "Anti-Arabism", "Anti-Sexism", "Anti-Communism" etc.?

"Stakeholder choice and motivation in the free market of ideas"...
No, didn't get it. Were you trying to maximize the amount of business lingo there?

Not really. If you have a superior string of words that are as concise and allude to the same things as mine, in order to pose the same question, then be my guest.

I just have no clue as to what you mean. Can you rephrase?
Originally posted by Palynka On the contrary, I actually find your choice of words quite funny and enjoyable. In the way some Babelfish translations are funny, that is.

Don't you mean 'the market of ideas' as being part of 'the free market' -- or is there a distinction between 'the free market of ideas' and 'the (not free) market of ideas'?

Well if your autonomous "-ism" isn't damaging anyone unjustly, and yet attracts sanctions, threats or some other restrictions on your actions - especially from a powerful nation - then I would say the 'market of ideas' is not so free. Seeing as there can be this difference, I think it is useful to have a concept of there being - or not being - a 'free market of ideas'.
Are stakeholders supposed to have a choice?
A choice about what they approve of and disapprove of? A choice about how they act based on what they agree with and disagree with? I should hope so.
