What the world thinks about America at WatchingAmerica.com
I really should be reading WatchingAmerica.com every morning, but here it is 5.45pm and I'm finally taking a look. I was intrigued to find a story that shows more subtle attitudes about the United States (not much subtle about most of the news today), in an article from a London paper, "BUZZ HAD TO FIX MOON LANDER WITH BIRO". It highlights how what the world thinks of them is important to Americans: "The US Government had already ordered NASA to cut links with the astronauts if disaster loomed. They did not want the world watching pictures of the Americans spinning off into space."
