Katherine Kennedy writes in with an explanation of American Europhobia. It sounds honest.

I think most of us are just sick of always being wrong. I personally do think that Europeans have something worth listening to; the problem is, with all the criticism, I believe we just get tired. Tired of always doing the wrong thing, tired of always being the bad guy to the point we just ignore everything that is being said. It is something to be remembered that Europeans might get tired as well of always being portrayed as leftist, anti-semitic socialist weenies. It takes something like your blog to remind people that no one likes to be stereotyped and painted with a broad brush.
