A few months ago a columnist from the Irish Times wrote this.....

"“Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger. But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity,”

Did an Irish Times Column Express 'Pity' for the US?
