Can someone explain Romney's speech?

[Franzl]

Just for us foreigners, can someone explain what Mitt Romney meant in his speech after winning the latest primaries when he said something like 'America will not apologize abroad' as its sounds a bit like 'we're going to do what we like and tough luck if you don't like it'. Not exactly what you might call diplomatic! Oh, and also, after he made this comment it sounded like what can only be described as a warehouse full of angry baboons had been released into the auditorium, screaming and grunting like they hadn't been fed for a week or two. Was this in fact the case or was it merely 'canned' baboon?

You've described it quite accurately.

Surely that can't be right? I've been watching AlJazeera, BBC World, Australia Network and the local Thai news as well as Fox and the first four seem to broadly correspond in their reporting whereas Fox seems to just be making it up! Is this popular in America or is it just a 'lunatic fringe' channel?

It's a serious news source, and understood to be that, for and by a significant portion of Americans (I dunno...30%?). For others, it's more of a joke organization. Don't think there is much in between.
