The 'W' Generation: How the World's Youth See America

For the past year, twenty-something Washington Post reporter Amar Bakshi has traveled across the globe talking to ordinary people of his generation-- farmers, rebels, rappers, laborers - whose primary experience of the United States has been with George W. Bush at the helm.

What he found was eye-opening. Having just returned to the U.S. this month, Amar will offer some new perspectives on the texture of pro- and anti-Americanism at the local level.

Amar C. Bakshi is currently reporting for the online editions of The Washington Post and Newsweek, traveling around the world looking at how America impacts ordinary lives in a dozen countries. Before launching How the World Sees America, Amar worked with David Ignatius, Hal Straus, and Fareed Zakaria as the first editor of PostGlobal, an international affairs forum. His daily text and video dispatches from England, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, the Philippines, Korea, Venezuela and Mexico can be found at www.washingtonpost.com/america.

@claton95 Stephen hawking (most intellegent man on the planet) is british. Charles darwin was british. Isaac newton was british. Theory of evolution is a british theory. The big bang theory is a british theory. The black hole theory is a british theory. TV, radio, coulor TV, guns, tanks, raydar, granades, trains, steam power, internal combustion, all these are british inventions. Sorry m8 but we ARE known for owr inteligence.

@Daleksaresupreme1 lol You're a Brit. Brits aren't exactly known for their intellegence. Look at what's going on in your country right now. Hey! we're mad that the government isn't providing enough jobs and making too many spending cuts so lets go burn down the busineses that are providing the jobs and force the gov't to spend millions of more dollars on police. Brits are idiots.

The world sees Americans as lazy, slow, inefficient yet innovative people.

Sounds interesting, but too long to stream. Post it on torrents - btjunkie or rapidshare and post the link on the video description. I don't like streaming more than 15 minutes.
