I WONDER WHY THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS A NEGATIVE IMAGE OF THE U.S.A.

Yeah! It's really weird.
I wonder why that'd be...

"... The US image remains abysmal in most Muslim countries in the Middle East and Asia and continues to decline among the publics of America's oldest allies."

Nine per cent of Turks, 13% of Palestinians and 15% of Pakistanis take a favourable view of the US. In Germany, the figure is 30%, in France 39% and in Britain 51% - all down on previous surveys. Only in Israel, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya do majorities believe US forces should stay in Iraq.

Ghana's good. I bet it's fun to vacation there, and Kenya. I'll check airfares! Thanks, Herb.
