As full of fun facts as the Pew Report is, however, it has a fairly limited scope. Lots of numbers and percentages are bandied about but with very little historical context or explanation. Why, for example, do Russians prefer powerful leaders over straight-up democracies? Why do Tanzanians like President Bush so much? Oh, and why does Turkey dislike America so much? More so than Egypt or Pakistan or Indonesia, the other majority Muslim nations on the list, Turkey holds an abysmally low opinion of the United States. Just 12% see America in a favorable light, and 70% of Turks surveyed see it as an enemy. That’s fascinating. Please, Pew — tell us why.
