What the world thinks of America - BBC poll (lose your illusions)

Not "breaking news", but worth a repost imho so there's a thread about it on DU2 for all the new DUers and veteran DUers who may have missed it before.

2. Thanks

There was some good and some bad news, depending on which side you are on.

That didn't make sense. Maybe it made perfect sense.

3. Thanks. I read through all of the pages and I noticed that the Jordanian

respondents think very highly of us don't they? (sarcasm) I thought we were vastly improving relations with them during the past 8 or so years. I need to get to the bookstore and buy Queen Noor's book.

4. seeking a free country to move to

thanks for the reality check.

I want to leave the 4th reich before they put Liberals like me in extermination camps.

Even Cuba has more individual freedom then the USA/bushylvania

It's either oppose Bush or support the RW police state.
No other option has been left to US.

8. If I was going to live anywhere else but here...

The US wouldn't even be in my Top Ten destinations. I'm not even all that interested in doing the tourist thing in the US either. That 96% thinking everyone else is just busting to live in the US is an arrogant mirror-image of Americans who think just because they're US citizens that they can just up and move to anywhere else in the world and whatever country they choose will welcome them with open arms and not worry about immigration quotas or anything...
