AP: Europeans Say Iraq War Raised Threat

By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - A majority of people in Canada, Mexico and five European countries have an unfavorable view of the role that President Bush plays in world affairs, Associated Press polls found.

Only in the United States did a majority of those questioned, 57 percent, have a positive view of Bush's role.
<snip>

Just over half in Mexico and Italy had a negative view of Bush's role. In Britain, the closest U.S. ally in the war in Iraq (news - web sites), and in Canada, two-thirds had a negative view.
<snip>

Three-fourths of those in Spain and more than 80 percent in France and Germany had a negative view of Bush's role in world affairs.
<snip>

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

Of the eight countries polled, a majority in five countries — the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy and Britain — said that even if no weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq, there were other reasons to justify the war. <snip>
