Poll: U.S. Image In Tatters Abroad; UK views CHINA more favorably!

[LynnTheDem]

Bloody hell!

The United States' image is so tattered overseas two years after the Iraq invasion that China, which is ruled by a communist dictatorship, is viewed more favorably than the U.S. in many countries, an international poll found.

Eleven of the 16 countries surveyed by the Pew Research Center — Britain, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan and Indonesia — had a more favorable view of China than the U.S.

India and Poland were more upbeat about the U.S., while Canadians are as likely to see China favorably as they were the United States.

Support for the U.S.-led war on terror has dipped in European countries like Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Spain, while it remains low in the Muslim countries surveyed like Pakistan, Turkey and Jordan.

People in most countries were more inclined to say the war in Iraq has made the world a more dangerous place.

1. Looks like each country preferred the superpower farthest away!

Canada... After all we've done for you! Giving you our... Something, I'm sure we've done for you, right? I mean, we're best friends, and you don't trust us?

It's the chainsaw dude, isn't it?

[LynnTheDem]

4. Yeah. It's the chainsaw dude.

Canada loves you, man...but that chainsaw dude. WTF's with that?

:D

5. Hey, he was a Yankee. We don't have that kind of thing down here in Texas

Wait...

6. Except for that weirdo lives about an hour from me.

Little town called Crawford. Fake Texan, though; can tell by the fake accent.

9. He lives about an hour from me, too

Does sort of ruin the ambience of the state, doesn't he?

[LynnTheDem]

10. Along with the other things he ruined here.

#1 for poverty, #1 for pollution...

At least he's being consistant; doing to the entire nation what he did & does to Texas.

2. no more Crawford barbeques for these traitors. Freedom's on the March.

7. No one's gonna tell bush about this so he'll never know.

And he doesn't read. Except pet goat stories while our nation's being attacked. Even then, no one can positively say whether he was actually reading or just looking at the pretty pictures.

3. Not only will the Bushies NOT meet recruitment goals over the summer

the tourist trade to the US will also drop, again.

Meanwhile, Americans continue to flock to Europe. Amsterdam is packed to the tourist gills at the moment. The weather is superb and the Euro is weakening. Come visit, but do get outside the Amsterdam city limits to see the real NL.

8. Isn't that sad??

All of PNAC's plans are working backwards. Instead of us being the military leader it's the other way around. When will we have someone come save us from Bush?

[LynnTheDem]

11. Who would have thought BRITAIN would prefer CHINA over us??!

His attack on Iraq has made the world LESS safe.

His "war on terra" is failing.

And they hate us, they really really hate us.

HELP!!!
