In a survey across 33 nations, Iran and the United States come in as the countries viewed as having "the most negative influence on the world." In other words, the U.S. is one of the two most scary nations in the world.
The U.S. comes in at second place.
Bushie and his cabal of hypermasculine warriors can beat their hairy chests and make macho noises only almost as good as the Iranian hypermasculinists.
One nation wants to get weapons of mass destruction, the other nation believes it should be the only nation in the world to ever own WMD.
The BBC:
Iran is the country most widely viewed as having a negative influence in the world, with the US in second place, a new poll for the BBC suggests.
The survey for the BBC World Service asked how 39,435 people in 33 nations across the globe saw various countries.
Japan is most widely seen to have a positive influence. Europe has the most positive scores of all in the poll. . . .
The survey by the international polling firm GlobeScan and the University of Maryland took place between October 2005 and January 2006. . . .
The US has lost ground in some key allied countries, the survey suggests.
In France, 65% had a negative view of the US, up from 54% in the 2004 poll. In Britain the numbers went from 50% to 57%.
Negative views of the US are also up by 20 points in China, eight points in Australia and nine points in Brazil. . . .
None of the countries had a predominantly negative view of Europe.
