It was released in early 2002, long before America had allegedly squandered its political capital from 9/11. It's also not alone or likely to run out of friends. French and German accusations of American hegemonism have been around since before the founding of the EU. I’m not sure European anti-Americanism is as recent a growth as you’re making out.
