It appears that the longer we stay in Iraq, the more damage we are doing to our international reputation.

[neuron2]

Madeleine Albright, secretary of State in the Clinton administration and chairwoman of the project...

Say no more.

How about asking the Iraqis.

[LibLieSlayer]

As an American, I don't really care about this issue. The Eu's will come around when appeasement fails, as it always has in the past. I would rather our "reputation" be damaged, than more buildings (along with tens of thousands of American deaths).

Being the "WORLD LEADER" ain't no popularity contest!!!

On another thread it said this "report" generated by Madeline Albright, who is on the PEW board and also an advisor to John Kerry.

I'll leave it up to you to find that thread and link it to here....

F Europe they wouldn't exist if it were not for the US, they would be the USSR these Euro weenies can go straight to hell, pond sand morons.

[mewzilla]

Notice that the poll was taken before the attack in Madrid. And that New Europe wasn't polled. Gee, wonder why?

[iopscusa]

International Reputation...who cares, let these weak kneed appease-niks fight their own battles....dump them and the friggin' UN! They are not our friends, I really think we should tell them to kiss off and ship Madelame out of the country or better yet put her + all Clinton Admin's on trial for their failures resulting in 3000 Americans murdered.

Poll: Americans Say Muslim Countries and Europe Can "Bite Me"

(Shreveport La, USA) A recent poll of Americans states in the strongest possible terms that pro-terrorist Muslim and European nations can bite me. A poll conducted March 17, 2004 shows a clear contempt for the appeasers of terrorists as well as a determination to exterminate every piece of terrorist filth on planet earth. The poll of one American, known as "Skooz," chose the phrase "Muslim Countries and Europe Can Bite Me" as the one which most closely correlated with his sentiments. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 0%.

Yes, it's not a popularity contest. It's about doing the right thing.

I read this BBC Newsweek Poll today on FR:

"A large majority of Iraqis believe life is better now than it was under Saddam Hussein, according to a new poll.

And almost half (49%) of those questioned believe the invasion of their country by US and UK troops was right, compared with 39% who said it was wrong.

Meanwhile, a separate poll of British people suggested that a slim majority - 48% to 43% - supported UK involvement in the war.

A total of 2,500 Iraqis were quizzed for a group of international broadcasting organisations including the BBC in a poll to mark the first anniversary of the outbreak of war.

Some 57% said that life was better now than under Saddam, against 19% who said it was worse and 23% who said it was about the same.

Iraqi people appeared optimistic about the future, with 71% saying they expected things to be better in a year's time, 6% predicting it will be worse and 9% the same.

Overall, 70% said that life was good now, compared with 29% who said it was bad. "

[Enduring Freedom]

Bullshiite.

The longer we stay in the ME, the more we make the Islamonazis shiite in their sandals.

The EU is going Spanish, but who cares?

They are not worth defending or supporting.

Boycott Europe and let them wear rags.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"It appears that the longer we stay in Iraq, the more damage we are doing to our international reputation."

For over 40 years, member nations of the UN have expressed their hatred for the US. This article does not suprise me.

We have never been loved. This is because we love individual freedom.

[sergeantdave]

American neo-communists poll old world communists and terror supporting muslims and report they don't like us.

Oh, how unusual.

[Mamzelle]

There is no point in getting angry over all this. They blame us because that's all they have the courage to do--they don't fear snarling at us because they know we won't hurt them. They should snarl at themselves for being craven, but that won't come until their daughters wear burquas. If then.

But we can't reasonably expect any help from these pitiful weaklings.

[Smedley]

Haven't you heard?

It's all about oil

***There is a sharp and growing disconnect between the views of Americans and people who live in other countries, the poll shows. ***

1939 Chamberlain Polling Service shows "a sharp and growing disconnect between the views of Americans and people who live in Germany."

[AIC]

I for one really don't care what these people think of me/us. They never really wanted anything from us that money couldn't buy anyway. When they are in front of you and smiling while patting you on the back, just look for the knife it'll be there and has always been.
We are the ones with the big bucks, education, technology and they want it. They ask for it. We give it to them with strings attached and they don't like that. They want us to give them/share everything we have with them without them having to do anything for it. There are a lot of people in the U.S. that believe this way as well. So let them yell. Who really cares if they like the U.S. or not? Those that care and try to please them by giving them what they want are like parents given in to spoiled children crying because the parent won't give them something and they are saying I hate you, I hate you. Just remember, when they want something, they will come around with their hand out and a smile on their face and say it wasn't me that said that or Oh! I really like the U.S. and the people and not know really either one. So, let them yell.

Revived Media Shenanigans ping - Susan Page Pours Herself A Big Ol' Glass Of Pew Koolaid

As Freeper governsleastgovernsbest pointed out in his daily serving of The Today Show glop (Pew Foundation to Albright to Today Show - Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy?), Susan Page is just serving us regurgitated porridge from the Vast Left Wing Interlocking Directorate.

When the cook is a master's grad of Columbia University and a former alum of Newsday, I ain't hungry.

On, Off, or grab it for a Media Shenanigans/Schadenfreude ping:

I really would love to see what happens if the USA takes up an isolationist standpoint and ceases to assist any EU or other world countries in fighting against terrorism or despotism. All of a sudden we'd be labeled cowards and ineffectual.

The moral of the story here is: The US cannot win in the war of wills. We will be perpetually looked upon as headstrong and cowboys. I don't know about you all, but I love being called a cowboy and a rabble rouser. I think that's the essence of being American, and we should embrace that. Being strong means a lot more than appeasing the world community when they disagree with how we're handling affairs. Let them pound sand under their Muslim rulers! God Bless America!

70% of those in Jordan, 66% in Morocco and a 46% plurality in Pakistan say suicide bombings against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justified.

I can beat that, If the US it hit by the Al Queda terrorists again, I'd be at least 71% in favor of dropping a small tactical nuke on Jordan, Morocco and the Pakistani/Afgan border to name a few sites. I'd also consider turning Mecca and Medina into glass.
