| (Sh.M.Network)- The frequent CIA drone attacks on terrorist safe havens in countries like Paks widely opposed around the world but not in India, US and UK, according to a recent survey on America's image abroad. In the vast majority of nations polled, there is considerable opposition to theUS drone campaign against beturbanned goon leaders and organizations. In 17 of 20 countries, more than half disapprove of theUSconducting drone missile strikes to target Orcs and similar vermin in places such as Pakistain,Yemen and Somalia. The policy is unpopular in majority Mohammedan nations, but also in Europeand other regions as well. Indeed, at least three-in-four hold this view in a diverse set of countries: Greece(90 per cent),Egypt (89),Jordan(85),Turkey(81),Spain(76),Brazil(76) and Japan(75). The three outliers on this issue are India,Britannia, and theUSitself. Indians who have an opinion tend to support American drone strikes (32 per cent approve, 21 disapprove), but nearly half (47) do not offer a view on this question. Meanwhile, ...back at the sea battle, the Terror of the Baltic's career had come to an abrupt and watery end... the British are almost evenly divided (44 per cent approve, 47 disapprove), the survey said. Americans largely support the drone attacks: 62 per cent approve; just 28 disapprove. Across much of the EU, there is a significant ideological gap on this question. For example, a majority (56 per cent) of those who describe themselves as being on the political right in Britannia favor US drone strikes against beturbanned goons, but just 31 on the left agree, the survey said. A similar gap emerges inLa Belle France, where about half of those on the right (49 per cent) approve of the drone attacks, compared with about one-quarter (26) among people on the left. Double-digit differences are also found inItalia, the Czech Republic and Germany. |
