No one likes us ... dunno why

With the accuracy and speed both readers have come to expect of WeTheSheeples, MeTheSheeple brings this fresh report. Yep. Ran in the Globe yesterday, ran in the IHT two days ago, based off this study. The short story of the summary: One of Randy Newman's songs remains current.

Remember Spain, our ally in the war on terror, sufferer of its own terrorist strikes? Yeah. They like the United States less now -- just one out of four is in our fan club. Iraq as a new front in the war on terror? Not exactly working:

Support for the U.S.-led war on terror, with few exceptions, is either flat or has declined; confidence in President Bush has fallen ever lower in Europe; and majorities in most countries believe that the U.S. will not achieve its objectives in Iraq. ...

Majorities in 10 of 14 foreign countries surveyed say the war in Iraq has made the world a more dangerous place. In Great Britain, 60% say the war has made the world more dangerous, compared with 30% who say it has made the world safer.

None of this is terribly surprising, as this old entry shows. The downward spiral, though, is not a good sign.

Someone out there could say, "Yes, but some of these countries never liked us." Not always true, but sometimes is. But if the overall population of a country we consider an ally grows to dislike us, what do you think is happening with the radical populations in those countries, the ones that could become terrorists? What about the radical populations outside those countries? What, then, would this say for the War on Terror?
