World Continues to View America and Iran As Greatest Dangers to World Peace
Of course, what we are really talking about is the world's view of American conservatism.Bush and his out-of-control Republicans still don't get that when the world views you as a danger to world peace, you are doing something wrong and it is you who are America's greatest enemy.
Ah, but it's only the opinion of the world.
Pew Global Attitudes Project:
America's global image has again slipped and support for the war on terrorism has declined even among close U.S. allies like Japan. The war in Iraq is a continuing drag on opinions of the United States, not only in predominantly Muslim countries but in Europe and Asia as well. And despite growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions, the U.S. presence in Iraq is cited at least as often as Iran - and in many countries much more often - as a danger to world peace.
A year ago, anti-Americanism had shown some signs of abating, in part because of the positive feelings generated by U.S. aid for tsunami victims in Indonesia and elsewhere. But favorable opinions of the United States have fallen in most of the 15 countries surveyed. Only about a quarter of the Spanish public (23%) expresses positive views of the U.S., down from 41% last year; America's image also has declined significantly in India (from 71% to 56%) and Indonesia (from 38% to 30%).
