What is the source of the recent global survey on countries presenting the greatest threat to world stability

Question

About a month ago I heard several newscasts talking about a recent global opinion survey which asked which countries were the greatest threat to global security. In this survey the US was ranked as one of the greatest sources of global insecurity. Does anyone know the source of this survey or how I can see more details?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_peace_index

several of the studies are done by Economist Intelligence Unit, Amnesty International, and studies done by the UN

The US has several things that make it the worlds greatest threat by the criteria of the study, and other things that make it peaceful.

Things the US has going for it, is that it's relatively friendly with most of it's neighbors, that it has a higher respect for human rights than some other countries, and is politically stable... comparatively.

But things that make it the biggest threats is our weapons product and exportation. That we spend more on defense than any country on the planet. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures)
And finally the biggest thing is that we stick our noses in more peoples business that anyone can measure, both politically and militarily.

Answer 2

Sorry to say it's the USA. We have become the most hated country in the world because of the policies & actions of the present administration. The crazies are taking advantage of the situation to blame us for everything wrong in the world. Our credibility is shot, our respectability is gone,our integrity is in question. Even our "friends" are distancing themselves to avoid guilt by association. Past good deeds have been erased by the arrogance shown by the white house We have indirectly become the threat to world peace simply by not being what we once were. Its going to take generations to undo the mess we helped create. Very sad situation , but in time we can recover....I hope.
