Against Anti-Americanism

Fox News

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is lashing out at anti-Americanism among European politicians, saying the world needs the U.S. to help solve pressing global problems.

In a pamphlet published by the British Foreign Policy Center, Blair argues that the "strain of, frankly, anti-American feeling in parts of European politics is madness when set against the long-term interests of the world we believe in."

"The danger," Blair warned, "is if they decide to pull up the drawbridge and disengage," adding "We need them involved."
