Theos-Talk Archives (July 2001 Message tt00015)

The rest of the world looks down on the US already. It's only the Yank
Hubris that doesn't allow them to see what effect they are really having
on the world around them.

##No, the time will not come when the whole world looks
##down on the US on the capital punishment issue. If the
##opinions of other countries were relevant on this
##issue, and they are not, the US would nonetheless be
##in the world majority on this point. Of the ten
##largest countries (by population) in the world, all
##ten have a death penalty.
##
##With respect to Europe you would be well advised not
##to confuse the opinions of European politicians and
##journalists with the opinions of the European
##populace. The last poll I saw on the issue showed a
##large majority of European citizens in favor of the
##death peanlty, despite the positions of their
##governments.
