Arab Poll: Bush Most Disliked World Leader

A new poll on Thursday underscored deep Arab unhappiness with the United States but said the negative image could be repaired if Washington brokered a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement.

The survey of 3,850 people in six Arab countries rated President George W. Bush as the most disliked world leader, while the United States and Israel were viewed as significantly greater threats than Iran.

Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said the United States could improve its image by brokering a comprehensive Middle East peace agreement.

A smaller number - 33 percent - said this image change could happen if Washington withdrew its troops from Iraq.

The results show the Arab-Israeli conflict "remains the central prism through which people are evaluating the United States", even when the international focus is on the Iraq war and nuclear crisis with Iran, said Shibley Telhami of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.

To be 'most disliked' by muslim arabs is a badge of honor.

I want to know who the A-RABS LIKE the most. Out of, oh, say 10, how many do you think would be American dems? "American dems"? That doesn't sound right. How many do you think would be Democrats posing as patriotic Americans? There. That's better.

They know this because CNN tells them so every day - and night - and day...

The Arabs no doubt had a higher opinion of Clinton...and yet Al Qaeda operatives were here already training to kill us anyway.

Explain to me again what the point of currying favor with the Arab world is.

As if there is a plan for peace that would work. Ha! There will be no peace until they are all dead, and then I'm not so sure.

A poll of Democrats in this country would yield the same result. That's what's scary.

I say we develop fusion power, give the specs free to every nation on earth, and tell these parasitic sandheads to go to Hell.

Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said the United States could improve its image by brokering a comprehensive Middle East peace agreement.

Ninety-nine percent of Americans interviewed said Arabs could improve their image by taking a bath at least once a month and by "not cutting all those peoples' heads off," in the words of one respondent.

A smaller number - 33 percent - said this image change could happen if Washington withdrew its troops from Iraq.

A smaller number, 98 percent, said the Arab image change could also be accomplished by wiping them off the face of the earth.

"The most admired leader was Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Islamic militant group in Lebanon, with 14 percent.

French President Jacques Chirac followed with 8 percent, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with 4 percent and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with 3 percent."
