AP: Europeans Say Iraq War Raised Threat

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- A majority of people living in the two countries bordering the United States and in five major European countries say they think the war in Iraq increased the threat of terrorism in the world, Associated Press polls found.

In the United States, people were evenly divided on whether the war has increased or decreased the terror threat.

The AP polls were conducted by Ipsos, an international polling firm, in Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Spain and the United States.

While a majority in each of the countries polled except the United States said the terrorism threat was greater now, fewer than one in 10 in any of the European countries said the terror threat had been decreased by the war.

2. In the United States, people were evenly divided!!!!

3. well, this American has one thing to say to that --- DUH!

one of the main reasons I was so fucking pissed off about the war, as it was starting, was that because of it we now, arguably, deserve to get hit.

I remember posting that here and getting seriously flamed and having people get absolutely hysterical on me.

But it's the truth. Our little tyrant-removal operation in Iraq killed a whole ton of women and children, brutally at that.

What would anyone expect? If somebody killed my kid, I wouldn't rest until I got my revenge.

4. why are americans the only ones who are so stupid?

Are we really that dumb? Is it something in the water? Is it genetic?

5. No, not stupid.

Incredibly arrogant. The entire world revolves around our country, we are never wrong, and we never apologize.

6. Just as Clinton

was finally getting the image of the 'benign American' back of the ground, * smacked it right back down and reinforced worldwide the image of the 'ugly American', with reason, I suspect.

7. Repukes Believe That if They Send 100 Men Into a Mine Field In Order

to difuse one mine and they lose 80 men in the process, it is worth it.
