Hating America: The New World Sport

Hating America: The New World Sport (ISBN 0060580100) is a book by John Gibson, a Fox News pundit.

According to a review in Publishers Weekly quoted on Amazon.com:

[Gibson's] main charge, leveled through a rehash of UN wranglings during the run-up to the war in Iraq, is simply that other countries didn’t understand our feelings after 9/11 and didn’t support the American invasion. By lumping this reluctance under the rubric of hatred, Gibson reduces serious policy differences to emotional animus.

Gibson’s truculent tone ("The rest of the world can go to hell. It wasn’t attacked. We were. And we’ll judge who plotted against us and who is plotting still") will alienate readers who aren’t already predisposed to his views, and might be perceived as another fine example of American belligerence.
