Who Is America's Biggest Enemy?

Iran has replaced Iraq as the country Americans consider to be their greatest enemy, according to a Gallup Poll. Canada and Great Britain were ranked as America's best friends.

The percentage of Americans with a positive view of France and Germany has moved up sharply since 2003, the poll said, when the two allies challenged President Bush's Iraq policy.

Thirty-one percent of Americans gave the nod to Iran as the worst enemy in polling of 1,002 adults between Feb. 6-9.

This represented an increase from 14 percent last year, and appeared to reflect growing American concern over the potential for the Islamic republic to acquire nuclear weapons.

Twenty-two percent listed Iraq as the worst enemy, the same total as a year ago.

Iran wishes they were are biggest enemy so we can play into someone's hands. I just haven't figure out who is behind them egging it on.

Who has the most to gain if we bomb Iran? Politically? Financially?

It's definitely not Us.

Hmmmmm. This is interesting propaganda.

Canada is our best friend? Anyone who actually thinks that is a complete idiot. Research statements from any PM except Mulroney for dating back to 1968. Any American who believes Canada is a friend is either out of touch with current events or is a straight A student--in public school.

You haven't met our new Prime Minister Stephen Harper yet, have you? He's the most pro-American leader of any western country.

Michael Savage is to the reactionary knee jerk right, what Michael Moore is to the lunatic left.

Both are very good at what they do. Clever editing, half truths, partial, out of context sentences, etc, etc.

Both are fat, ugly and equally dangerous, playing only to the emotions of the masses.

You do not want to get the "facts" from these two slime balls!!

Based on your post, I'd say stupidity and ignorance is America's
greatest enemy.
Canada has a Conservative Gov't and PM who has publicly stated his,
and his party's, pro-America position - and the Canadian
people elected the Conservatives knowing that.
So wake up, would yah...

Well, there are lots of enemies. But the problem is not the enemies but the lack of defense. That weakness is primarily stupidity and laziness. Why we fear globalism is beyond me? Any American that puts their mind to it should be able to whip the foreigners fair fight or not.
99% of the arguments against the Ports deal are ignorant, irrational or just plain fear.

Two Michaels. One Savage and one Moore.

I know there is a parody in there somewhere.
