The Last Bits of the Anti-Americanism Series from the BBC
Here is a quote from the third and final part of this series, reported from Cairo:
The United States is not the capital of world liberalism.
What is it, then?
Home to 300 million people, most of whom genuinely believe they have earned the right to lead the world, though not to coerce it.
Perhaps one day they will meet their nemesis and American dominance will be a memory?
Other nations or movements will be in charge and I suspect we - or our children - will long to have the Yanks back.

Here is a a Q & A with the series' author.

Here is a 30 minute audio program, centered on Venezuela, which has some dramatic lines from Venezquelan President Hugo Chavez at its beginning (I have not listened to the whole broadcast).
____________
And for the truly hardcore, here is a discussion board with pages and pages and pages and pages of comments. Click the "Readers Recommended" tab for a more select, and, persumably, more biased against America set of comments, at least that is how I would expect the majority of readers of BBC News to swing.

And, yes, that is the McFalafel in an Egyptian McDonalds pictured above.
