Nieprawda Chester.
Wedlug Pew Research Center wiekszosc opinii spolecznej
w wysoko rozwinietych krajach zachodnich uwaza ze USA
jest najwiekszym zagrozeniem dla pokoju na swiecie,
wiekszym niz Iran i Korea Polnocna, nie mowiac o Rosji,
ktora stoi bardzo nisko na skali zagrozenia.

US seen as a bigger threat to peace than Iran, worldwide
poll suggests

George Bush's six years in office have so damaged the
image of the US that people worldwide see Washington as a
bigger threat to world peace than Tehran, according to a
global poll.

The Washington-based Pew Research Centre, in a poll of
17,000 people in 15 countries between March and May, found
more people concerned about the US presence in Iraq than
about Iran's alleged nuclear weapons ambitions.

The Pew Centre said: "Despite growing concern over Iran's
nuclear ambitions, the US presence in Iraq is cited at
least as often as Iran - and in many countries much more
often - as a danger to world peace."

[...]

But even in the UK, Washington's closest ally, favourable
ratings have slumped from 83% in 1999 to 56% this
year. The pattern is similar in France, down from 62% to
39%, Germany 78% to 37%, and Spain 50% to 23%.

In Muslim countries with which the US has traditionally
enjoyed a good relationship, such as Turkey - a member of
Nato - and Indonesia, there have also been slumps. In
Indonesia favourable ratings for the US have dropped from
75% to 30%, and in Turkey from 52% to 12%.

[...]

As part of the overall decline in US support, the survey
also records a drop in support for the US-led "war on
terror", even in countries such as Spain, in spite of the
Madrid bombings two years ago by al-Qaida that left 192
dead. Support for the "war on terror" dropped in Spain
from 26% last year to 19% this year.

Throughout the period the poll was conducted the crisis
over Iran's nuclear programme, intensified by hardline
comments from its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was
repeatedly in the news. Iraq, too, has been in the news on
an almost daily basis, with the formation of a new Iraqi
government being accompanied by fears of a civil war.

Only in the US and Germany is Iran seen as a greater
danger than the US in Iraq. Public opinion in 12 of the
other countries - Britain, France, Spain, Russia,
Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, Nigeria, India
and China - cite the US presence in Iraq as being the
greater danger. Opinion in Japan was evenly divided.

As well as Iraq and Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
is also high on the list of issues that present a danger
to world peace. Public opinion in about a third of the
countries polled put it at the top of their list of
threats.

In the UK, the second biggest contributor of troops in
Iraq, 60% said the Iraq war had made the world more
dangerous. Only 30% said it had made the world safer, and
41% of British people said the US presence in Iraq
represented a great danger to world peace, with 34% citing
Iran as a big threat.

By contrast, concern about Iran has almost doubled in the
US over the past two years. Some 46% of Americans view Mr
Ahmadinejad's government as "a great danger" to stability
in the Middle East and world peace, up from 26% in 2003.
The concern in the US is shared in Germany, where 51% see
Iran as a great danger to world peace, against 18% three
years ago.
