This is disturbing. As of now, the rest of the world sees the U.S. to be as dangerous as Iran and North Korea to world peace. Even 60% of Britons see that the Iraq war has made the world more dangerous. (The following is the perception that people of other countries have of the U.S) The question asked was "What are America's motives?" TO CONTROL MIDEAST OIL: U.S. 18% Britain 33% Russia 51% France 58% Germany 64% Pakistan 54% Turkey 64% Morocco 63% Jordan 71% TO DOMINATE THE WORLD: U.S. 13% Britain 74% Russia 44% France 53% Germany 47% Pakistan 55% Turkey 61% Morocco 60% Jordan 61% TO TARGET UNFRIENDLY MUSLIM GOVERNMENTS: U.S. 13% Britain 21% Russia 23% France 44% Germany 40% Pakistan 51% Turkey 47% Morocco 45% Jordan 53% TO PROTECT ISREAL: U.S. 11% Britain 19% Russia 11% France 23% Germany 30% Pakistan 44% Turkey 45% Morocco 54% Jordan 70% America is suffering from an image problem around the globe.
