Swedes think US 'greatest threat to peace'



Swedes think that the United States and North Korea pose the greatest threats to world peace, according to the results of a poll released on Sunday. Nearly one in three Swedes, 29 percent, think that the US is the biggest threat to peace on earth, the poll, commissioned by Axess Television, reveals.

North Korea was a close runner up to the United States - 28 percent of respondents thought that the secretive communist dictatorship was most dangerous.

Iran was in third place, at 18 percent. The poll results showed that more people between the ages of 16 and 29 saw America as the biggest threat, while a majority of those over 60 picked North Korea.

People's opinions were strongly linked to their political preferences. Left and Green party voters were more likely to choose the US, with 68 percent of Left and 57 percent of Green Party voters believing that America was most dangerous. Only 20 percent of Moderate or Christian Democrat voters shared that view.

And it was hard werk. But bush managed it.

not a divider.

Daddy bush only had ONE failed presidency and didn't cause the deaths of anywhere near as many men, women & kids.

Bush has ignored international institutions, such as the UN, in the same manner as Imperial Japan ignored the League of Nations.

Americans have ignored international institutions, such as the UN, in the same manner as Imperial Japanese ignored the League of Nations.

You are the problem, not just Bush.

Send in Karen Hughes she can reform the World's belief of us
as thieves, liars and self righteous in our own deluded reality.

Poland seeks Iraqi oil stake

Poland, which has sent troops to support the US-led forces in Iraq, has acknowledged its "ultimate objective" is to acquire supplies of Iraqi oil.

The Polish Foreign Minister, Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, said his country had never disguised the fact that it sought direct access to the oilfields.

Special place in hell for Poland's government. If any nation should have known the pain, hurt, suffering, slaughter of invasion...

Polish right-wingers are an unsavory bunch.

The rest of the swedes put Iran in the third position.

This election results
these coming days
are a reflection to the rest of the world on our national, individual, earthly participate
of the path of our nation or
if we have been betrayed by our fellow citizens,
thinking that they believed in the same papers
written by our founding fathers
that most of world took in
as a universal thought of freedom.

Even Germany, like us, at one time produced noble thoughts, men, concepts of revolutions
and reformations of philosophy, music and freedom.

The Poles the same way

"Survey says"--
The rest of the world thinks the US is
a danger to peace now,

hth,

I lost it once and sent a mad letter to The White House. Must be on the "no-fly list". Can't visit my son and daughter-in-law in Texas until there's a regime change there. Not that I am hoping for regime change or for anything bad to happen to you dear leader. That includes Bush, Laura, the twins and Barney. Also the rest of the Cheneys and Karl Rove. I love and forgive them all for being the worst tragedy that has hit the U.S. since the War of 1812. (Tee hee.)

So open, so progressive, so intelligent and informed.

Definitely where I'm fleeing if the shit ever really hits the fan here.

that I agree with the Swedes. I hate that my country has become so bellicose, and hateful under the present regime. They cheated their way into power by stealing the elections since 2000. There is a new, and vicious breed of conservatives in charge today.

Although they claim to value human life, they are all too ready to take it. They claim to be moral, upstanding Christians, but have betrayed every commandment Jesus ever gave. I don't want the U.S. to be a pariah nation, hated and feared by the rest of the world.

I want us to be members of a country which works in unison with others to improve the lives of millions of us on earth, and which works to share the natural resources of the world with each other. I don't want us to threaten others, just because they might not agree with our every idea. I will always pray, and hope, that we can find our way to being a member of a united earth, working for the common good of all of us.

Apart from whine, that is, in which case nobody's going to listen?

what will they do, attack for real?

Don't blame those of us who a) didn't vote this asshat in power, and b)have pity on those of us fighting furiously to get control of the House and Senate to oppose the bungler in chief!

Do you think the results would be any different if John Kerry were President?

or ever significantly different?

The problem is not just Bush, as much as we want it to be. The problem is Americans.

Good point...

Some Americans seem deluded that 'threat' merely implies 'foreign wars' and their self-appointed role as 'top cop'...the US domestic 'model' is also a factor in universal 'threat' sweepstakes.

A ten minute viewing of a any collection of current US electoral ads reveals a very unhealthy democracy and social system that few would want to emulate.

Certainly not us Kerry voters.

It's guilt by association.

Europe, say GERMANY where I live? They seem to be smart enough to distinguish between the BushBOTS and the rest of the populace who wants the CONS out of power.

eom

I travel the globe regularly on business, and I have yet to find a country in the past year + that has anything positive to say about us. I've had a couple of occasions where the taxi driver, upon learning I'm American, will often want to fight me. Once, got kicked out of the cab in the middle of nowhere at night. Sometimes, if I sense real trouble brewing, I'll say I'm Canadian to avoid confrontation. How sad that the little man has not only destroyed our country, but our global image as well in 6 short years. May the world forgive us for your arrogance.

is the thinking that there is such a thing as world peace.

eom

if all heck breaks loose.

agrees with the Swedes.

Except for the powerful wealthy bastards who comparitively are an extremely small but powerful interest group! Time to take that wealth and power away....!!
