ConservativeHome’s Tim Montgomerie has today launched AmericaInTheWorld, dedicated to combating anti-Americanism. The site is replete with myth debunking, facts about America’s contribution to the world and strong arguments about who benefits from anti-Americanism. In my opinion, it could be one of the most significant initiatives in strengthening international ties for some time. In a very good sign for the future, David Cameron has agreed to appear at the launch event in London. There will be a Stateside launch event in the future.

Three pointers to get you started there:

  • The site’s Declaration rejecting anti-Americanism, which all can sign.
  • An opinion poll showing disturbing levels of ignorance about America within the UK.
  • Rebutting popular myths about America – suggestions for others solicited.

Tim has been ably assisted in developing the site by former Heritage research assistant Peter Cuthbertson, who was one of the first emergent conservative bloggers in the UK. Kudos to both of them, and the site’s publisher, Stephan Shakespeare.
