 Review of "The United States of Anger"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Esler found that ignorance about the world was common among Americans -- for example, one in four polled thought that unemployment was 25% (the level it had reached during the Great Depression), and a vast majority thought that the United States had an anti-ICBM defense deployed.
Esler notes that many Americans seem more eager to use their bad fortune to claim victim status (and, thus, an excuse) than they are to make their lives better.
Esler illustrates the lengths to which some people will go to blame others, detailing the fever for lawsuits and conspiracy theories that has strained the civility of American life.

 Swans Commentary: Can't See The World For The Trees, by Richard Hine - rhine01
Esler's argument appears to be that "a profound British ignorance and intellectual arrogance towards the United States" is a major causal factor in our "creeping anti-Americanism." Undoubtedly there are those whose dismay at US foreign policy is coupled with anti-Americanism but these attitudes are different not in degree but kind.
Esler should be wary of pointing the finger given the frequency with which he, and many of his colleagues, makes the same mistake.
Esler's inability to notice the difference in kind between these positions inevitably leads him to disregard the arguments of many anti-war protestors who have no such difficulty.

Last night BBC Newsnight's Gavin Esler had a very good report on poverty in America.
It was actually when he started discussing health care that it struck me that he seems not to realize that there are economic trade-offs that every society makes with regards to economic dynamism and government provided services.
Esler used the phrase "the wealthiest country in the world" a few times when discussing the cost of health care in America.

Esler was for a long time the BBC's main man in Washington, he was the Washington correspondent for as long as I can remember.
