facinating results from a global poll relating to public opinions of america in various countries around the world.. [url] http://www.torontostar.com/nasapp/cs/contentserver?pagename=thestar/layout/article_type1&c=article&cid=1035775217105&call_pageid=968332188854&col=968350060724[/url].

a major survey on international opinion released in washington yesterday shows u.s. popularity has plunged across much of the world amid mounting perceptions that the united states is running roughshod over other nations.

the planet's sole superpower commands only tepid affection, just as the u.s. government struggles to win international support for a possible military incursion against iraq as the next stage in its war on terrorism.. in fact, the prospect of a u.s.-led offensive aimed at overthrowing iraqi dictator saddam hussein has become a major irritant between washington and even its closest allies.. .

iwasyoungonce,

just make a google search and you will find hundreds of pages talking about it...here is the first link

that popped up: http://www.libreopinion.com/members/standarteslc/jewishquestion06.html

What exactly has the lack of arab help to do with imperialistic US policies?

The point of is wasted on me?

* well then tell me how often the US sends help to europe if there is a natural disaster?

never...why not? because it is not required! neither is european help required if there is an

earthquake or a hurricane in the US. hope you don't actually want help from nicaragua or any

other poverty stricken latin american country. (i guess the money the US industry is squeezing out

of these countries is making up for that!)

* are you aware of the post WWII situation?

the US helped europe because of strong communist parties in france and italy and the high

probability of germany getting under control of the communists. it was not to help the

europeans but to keep europe an allied force against the russians.

* i guess you never heard of Airbus then...i am sorry but i guess i have to inform you that

airbus controls now over 50% of the world market. the european airplanes are cheaper, have

higher quality, are identical in cocpit desing (less training required) and consume less fuel.

* as mentioned above it were mainly german engineers who designed the Apollo rockets

(W. von Braun and others). the US had the money and the will to do it (after they had lost the

race to put the first satellite into orbit and to put the first man into space). hope you are

aware that the US had about 250 million and the largest european state about 65 million people...

so of course only the US (and russia) had the resources to built that thing.

* well if you want to put someone into jail for not joining the vietnam war than thats your problem...

i would say 95% of the population have realized by now that it was a useless and criminal war.

about putting the scandals right there in the window...maybe if the US media wouldn't report all

that shit than there would be a slower decay of morals in the glorious USA.

* about the railroads...this is simply total nonsense. (by the way....the indian railroads actually

need to be renewed...they still have the equipment from the times of english occupation! maybe you can

write to bush ...i am sure the generous guy he is he will send the required money!)

in conclusion i guess you shoud take some serious history lessons my friend!

hello freeman,

in case of bosnia i have to agree with you. i think this might have been the only true humanitarian mission in US history. at least i can't see an economical aspect there.

well israel is quite a different case...i might get jump on for sounding like a anti semite...but fact is that the jewish lobby is one of the strongest in the US...just think of the fact that 50% of clinton's staff were jews...kind of gives the reason away why the US supports israel despite the screaming human rights violations committed there. (just as a sidenote...nobody except the arabs of course is critizising the US for supporting israel).

about the international opinion...of course the US tries not to provoke a conflict with the EU or powerful asian countries. noone could stop the US from taking over the whole middle east... but why threatening trade relationships with allied countries when you can take over the resources of 3rd world countries without any conflict? besides...doesn't the US tell the world how bad it is to occupy a foreign country? what official moral justification would they have (in the eyes of the world but also in the eyes of the US citizens) for such an action? what argument could they give russia or china if these two countries start to occupy places around the world? no question...its way way more effective and brilliant the way the US does it now (perhaps even letting japan, germany and a couple of other fools pay for part of the war).

SARA,

thank you for posting this! i was thinking about doing it myself. i got the same article last year right after 9/11...it is hillarious! how ignorant does one have to be to believe this drivel???

i especially love the part about the

* airplanes ...hello!?! anyone heard of airbus???

* the man on the moon...hello!?! it were german technicians who lead the construction of the rocket!

* the railroads...where the hell does that nonsense come from???

but the rest is almost equally funny!

freeman,

i think what prevents the US from just taking over kuwait etc. is the public and international opinion as well as international relationships. europe (not to speak about russia and china) is already unhappy with US foreign politics...it would lead to a severe international crisis if the US would act even more agressively.

the US does their conquering in a way more elegant way...they disguise their actions with putting the mantle of "protecting human rights and freedom" over their actions...why do you think they don't just declare war on iraq? after installing a US friendly regime (which in many cases is not at all respecting human rights) US companies (Oil, american fruit etc.) take over the respective markets. look at south america for a frightning example.
