World View of US Role Goes From Bad to Worse

Posted by Matt in January 22nd, 2007

The global view of the United States’ role in world affairs has significantly deteriorated over the last year according to a BBC World Service poll of more than 26,000 people across 25 different countries.

As the United States government prepares to send a further 21,500 troops to Iraq, the survey reveals that three in four (73%) respondents disapprove of how the US government has dealt with Iraq.

The poll shows that in the 18 countries that were previously polled, the average percentage saying that the United States is having a mainly positive influence in the world has dropped seven points from a year ago - from 36 percent to 29 percent - after having already dropped four points the year before.

On the eve of President George Bush’s State of the Union address, one citizen in two (49%) across all 25 countries polled now says the US is playing a mainly negative role in the world.

Over two-thirds (68%) believe the US military presence in the Middle East provokes more conflict than it prevents and only 17 percent believe US troops there are a stabilising force.

Conversations With History: Josef Joffe
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Die Zeit Publisher/Editor Josef Joffe for a discussion of America's role in the 21st century. Starting with an analysis of the differences between a bi-polar and a uni-polar world, Joffe analyzes the roots of anti-Americanism, defines a global strategy for U.S. foreign policy, and offers a unique perspective on the different worlds the U.S. confronts, the Berlin/Berkeley axis—a post modern world of information technology and no possibility of war--and the Beijing/Baghdad axis—a world of nationalism where war is still possible.

Rising Anti-Americanism
This is a question from The Women's International Perspective, based in Monterey, CA. Our News Editor Louise Belfrage has twice addressed growing Anti-Americanism on The Byline Portal. On June 29th she posted a report from Turkey that found the Turkish public dislikes the United States more than any other nation in the world. On September 29th she posted a story from Germany's Deutsche Welle that reported 48 percent of Germans think that the US is a greater threat to world peace than Iran. Louise asks the candidates: As President, how would you approach the continuously rising anti-Americanism? What is your view on the causes of it and what can by done on behalf of the US to better its international moral standing?

Re: Anti-Americanism?
Philip, you're just like Jane Fonda ... you're stimulating hatred towards the soldiers. The same hatred generated during the Vietnam Era to the point where the US government has not only forgotten their veterans, but abandoned them. You've made too many generalizations of rape & murder surrounding a few marines and cast that bigotry on every person in the military. Jane's Empty Apology In 2005 - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7349099 What she didn't apologize for: During this visit Fonda also visited American prisoners of war (POWs); and brought back messages from them to their families. When cases of torture began to emerge among POWs returning to the United States, Fonda called the returning POWs "hypocrites and liars". She added, "These were not men who had been tortured. These...

US legislators from both sides of the aisle reflect on the role of the US in world affairs. 1) What trends and discontinuities will characterize the new Administration's foreign policy? 2) Does anti-Americanism matter? Is there a gap between global perceptions and the reality of US policies? 3) How will a closely divided Congress help shape American foreign policy? Christopher J. Dodd, Senator from Connecticut (Democrat), USA Orrin G. Hatch, Senator from Utah (Republican); Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, USA James A.

Anti Americanism
http://www.instablogs.com/ Anti Americanism seething in South America They say being anti-American is to be fascist, Nazi, terrorist, communist and anarchist, anyway, there are unpleasant adjectives to describe those who criticize the actions of the United States here in South America.But is that true? In the 60's the dictatorships which proliferated here were all supported by the United States. Those countries that refuse to overthrow if their leftist presidents, were threatened. If a government wanted to invest in land reform, education, public health, distribution of income was immediately strikethrough of communist and should be deposed! The largest democracy in the world shouldn't support other democracies? That is a paradox! More than this, hypocrisy. What United States did in that...

Montebello US flag burning
Dear American watchers, this wasn't the message and the vibe of the demonstration. It wasn't anti-Americanism. This type of activity came when the Communist and Anarchist showed up. They came ready and meant business. Notice how they were saying the US is bad while waiving flags with Mao, Stalin and Lenin on them... Real protesters know your country's being highjacked from the inside, so is ours. That was the actual point of the demonstration itself.
