Obama Promised that the World Would Love Us Again - Anti-U.S. Attacks in Sweden

Barack Obama promised to restore America's image abroad. It's been a month and not one foreigner has sent me a candy-gram. From BBC News:

Three supermarkets have been destroyed and a fourth damaged in central Sweden in what police say might have been a series of anti-American arson attacks.

Swedish Radio reports that Global Intifada had recently distributed leaflets in Sodertalje encouraging the public to firebomb shops selling American products.

The US embassy in Stockholm has been in contact with the police and has advised people to exercise "caution while shopping and be attentive to suspicious behaviour", Swedish media report.
I reckon Obama's gonna have to give another one of them speeches on tolerance.
