TelePolis writes again (in German) about the bad image the US has in the rest of the world: *Ansehen der Bush-Regierung weiter gesunken*. ¹ This is based on a report (in English) by the PEW Research Center: _ A Year After Iraq War: Mistrust of America in Europe Ever Higher, Muslim Anger Persists_. ²
Only 13% of the people asked in the US believe that the USA overreacted to the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. In all other countries investigated except for Russia and Great Britain, the majority think the USA overracted. And the report goes on...
The report has a few interesting snippets at the very end, too:
• The survey finds, however, that Christians get much lower ratings in predominantly Muslim countries than do Muslims in mostly Christian countries. [...] • But one of the largest gaps between Americans and Europeans concerns the question of whether people who move to the U.S. have a better life. Americans overwhelmingly believe this to be the case – 88% say people who move to the U.S. from other countries have a better life. By contrast, just 14% of Germans, 24% of French and 41% of British think that people who have moved to the U.S. from their countries have a better life.
