Well there is a lot of anti- us sentiment over here pushed mostly by the Independent and other MSM, but note a very supportive Times editorial the other day.

Yet at the moment it seems most papers are with the USA on this one - it is 'unBritish' to talk openly like this (even if he thought it).

There is also a lot of suspicion of the 'UN' over here, so most people would see it as the pot calling the kettle black.

I understand the US has threatened to withhold UN funds over this. Good on you. The UN is anti-American and has got away with the bias far too long.

kind regards

Really...? Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I hope to see more information on Britons' perceptions of the UN and will do a search or two.

And yes, I agree that most popular opinion media are behind most of the anti-western sentiment we're seeing. The propaganda campaign has been ongoing for decades. Lack of good education and upbringing resulting, in part, from fatherlessness in our countries will likely propagate the trend in years to come.

If the US President had a good speech writer, we could answer the UN Deputy in kind. Mr. Bush cannot articulate complex concepts off the cuff but the UN really needs a shot across the bow from someone who can.
