People in Arab nations believe the Iraq war has brought less peace, more terrorism and contrary to Washington's claims, will result in less democracy, a new poll indicates.

The survey of six Arab countries, also found a plurality of respondents got their news from Aljazeera, currently at the centre of a storm over an alleged US idea to bomb its headquarters.

When asked which country was the biggest threat to them, most respondents chose Israel or the United States, while France was nominated as the country most respondents would like to be a superpower.

The University of Maryland/Zogby International poll published on Friday was conducted in Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in October.

Given their investments in the US economy, Washington had better be very careful not to anger them.

And I wouldn't dare mock, this is crucial given our need for their oil and all...

And the Duluth News Tribune included it in their coverage of Bush's speech on Iraq.:thumbsup:

The NYT and CNN must be planning to do BIG stories on Monday.:sarcasm:

Actually, it's too bad they released the poll findings on a Friday. People usually release things they don't want covered on Fridays.
