US cannot be trusted to act responsibly in the world: global poll
1 hour, 54 minutes ago


CHICAGO (AFP) - There is widespread global concern that the United States cannot be trusted to act responsibly in the world, according to a multinational poll released here Wednesday.

But while there is broad international frustration with how the United States conducts its foreign policy, few people around the world want the United States to completely back off its role as a global policeman, the poll found.

"There's clearly a trend in terms of deepening negative attitudes to the US in how it executes foreign policy," said Christopher Whitney, executive director for studies at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs which helped coordinate the 18-country study.

The United States has long faced criticism internationally for its interventionalist foreign policy, Whitney said.

This survey found that the frustration is broader in scope than previously thought and has deepened in the wake of the war in Iraq.

7. Can you believe it?????

"But while there is broad international frustration with how the United States conducts its foreign policy, few people around the world want the United States to completely back off its role as a global policeman, the poll found."



That is right. The globalists don't want us to stop they want us to continue to secure their realm without the world.

They will destroy us unless we fight back. Damn I wish we could all come together.

They infiltrate all of our movements to cause dissent.

If we could just all mobilize as people we could stomp them out.
