US Seen as a Bigger Threat to Peace Than Iran, Worldwide Poll Suggests
· Findings also show fall in support for war on terror
· Decline in America's image 'all to do with Iraq'
by Ewen MacAskill
George Bush's six years in office have so damaged the image of the US that
people worldwide see Washington as a bigger threat to world peace than
Tehran, according to a global poll.
The Washington-based Pew Research Centre, in a poll of 17,000 people in 15
countries between March and May, found more people concerned about the US
presence in Iraq than about Iran's alleged nuclear weapons ambitions.
The Pew Centre said: "Despite growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions,
the US presence in Iraq is cited at least as often as Iran - and in many
countries much more often - as a danger to world peace."

They knew...
Despite the whitewash, we know that the Bush administration
was warned before the war that its Iraq claims were weak.
