Americans are notoriously uninterested in how people in other countries see them. Which is why many are shocked when they travel abroad and find out first hand that not everyone views America as God's gift to the world. For those that like to keep abreast of shifting international perceptions of America I recommend the Web site Watching America. Here you will find English translations of articles in the foreign press that you will not find anywhere else. Check it out.
You can read my translation of an op/ed piece from Neues Deutschland here.
