In a recent global TIME magazine poll of countries, people were asked to rate a country as having a negative, positive, or neutral impact on the rest of the world. 19% viewed the US as nuetral, 51% as negative, and only 30% positive. The worst five, ranked from least to "most" liked were:
Russia
North Korea
US
Iran
Israeal
Now look at that list again. The US is only better than Russia and North Korea. Iran is better for the world than the US.
By now, I bet most Americans reading this are in outcry. I am a born American. And you know what? I am with that 51% of countries who hate us. With Bush as our mascot, I'm not surprised at these stats. But it's not just Bush. Look at the catastophe in Iraq. Look at our nation where OBESITY is a problem in a starving world. Look at the US refusing to sign global enviornmental treaties. Look, and wake up.
Now, the question is, what has this changed for you? And how will the Americans out there influence the world when it comes to vote in 2008?
