"The world is going to be a warmer place," he quipped, "but much more uncomfortable." Never mind whether Rob is right in thinking that Bush's policies will increase global warming and warfare; what his shorthand reflected was a widely held view that the outcome of the American election would affect not just Americans but the rest of the world -- and that he therefore had a stake in it. It is a short step from that belief to the conviction that, as long as the United States remains the world's sole superpower, Americans' business is anybody's business. Not surprisingly, that concept has flourished, both before and after the election, in the borderless universe of the Internet, where there has never been much respect for the conventions of state sovereignty -- and where more than one online "election" made Sen.

Bush has been ambivalent, swinging between resignation and fear. The common thread is deep concern and anger about a White House that is inclined to war and unilateralism. In so far as this has serious implications for the world, it also impacts Africa. Kenya's Vice President Moody Awori strongly expresses this sentiment. "I think we are going to see more dictatorship on an international scale," he said. "We are going to see more isolation, where Americans will not bother about the UN. To me that is a very sad affair."

Rap group Gatas Parlament say no one was actually threatening the president's life, and that the American authorities have "no sense of humour". Norwegian newspaper, Dagsavisen says (in Norwegian): "That there is little room for freedom of expression in the USA is something American artists have felt in the last years. But that freedom of expression in Norway is being put under pressure by the USA, is testimony of a new form of aggressive arrogance."... http://www.theworldspeaks.net/en/archives/2004/11/norway_shuts_do.html http://www.theworldspeaks.net/en/archives/2004/11/norway_shuts_do.html Topic: News Articles and Press Mon, 08 Nov 2004 15:44:11 +0000 "Now that George W.
