... then again, what does the opinion of people in other countries matter, right?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5077984.stm

THe first paragraph reads: "People in European and Muslim countries see US policy in Iraq as a bigger threat to world peace than Iran's nuclear programme, a survey has shown."

Here's the poll itself: http://pewglobal.org/

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

I resent that! Why isn't Canada included as well.

Hell, I would lay good odds that a substantial percentage of people in THIS country see US policy in Iraq as a bigger threat to world peace than Iran's nuclear programme.

The one sure thing about stupidity is that revulsion for it crosses all barriers of language and culture.

Well, speaking for myself, I have to say that the Nuclear Program in Iran worries me as far that it might end up the same as in Irak.

At the moment a diplomatic solution looks probable to me and I have no problem with Iran having nuclear powerplants (why use the oil if you can sell it for a lot of money, right?). If they agree to controls by the IAEA, of course.

The situation in Irak is, that it is bad and it doesn't seem to get better. (and as an european smart-ass I'd have to say: "TOLD YOU SO!"). If the US leave, were going to have a civil-war ending up in a new religeous islamic country. If not, nothing is going to change.

According to http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=252 (scroll down a bit), 31% of Americans think US policy in Iraq is a great danger, so that's pretty substantial. 46% think that Iran's nuclear programme is a great danger (and 34% see North Korea as a great danger, 43% the Middle-East).

Hardan, have to agree with you on all points. The US has really dug a hole for themselves in Iraq and it's kind of a case of "damned if you leave, damned if you don't".

Canada isn't included because we all know it's just an extension of the U.S.

but it seems you didn't know this . . . .maybe it was supposed to be a secret . . . .

SHIT!

I agree totally, although I'll make an addendum saying that Bush being president is probably the biggest threat to world peace.

Absolutely Deepgirl... I feel like wearing an " I didn't vote for him so don't blame me" tee-shirt every time I travel. There's just nothing like having that embarrassing excuse for a president to make you embarrassed to admit to being American.

You're only young once, but you can be immature any time!

I won't travel to another country 'tll he's gone I'm so embarrased.

However, if he pulls that president for life thing off, I will move to another country, if I can...
