#2 John, Thanks as always. That is fascinating. So EUrabia hates us and the rest of the world not so much. I'm having a real hard time seeing why we spent so much of the last century saving and protecting Europe and why we'd spend any of the current at the same fruitless task.

#3 Thanks John. Never realized there were so many "Daily Kos" readers in Turkey.

#4 Intesting is that some African countries are more pro6US than US herself (and MUCH more than liberal areas). How about sending Kerry, Fonda and their ilk to Ivory Coast and replace them with equal number of Ivorians?

That's unfortunate.

#8 Remember that Canadian figure includes Quebec.

Can't the rest of Canada just kick them out?

What's Germany's excuse?

#10 What's Germany's excuse?

They've got the Ossies, who create the same drag on Germany as the French do in Quebec.

#12 Some potentially pro-US countries seem conspicuously absent from the graph above. How about Finland? Thailand? Denmark?

#13 Nemble. The answer to your question is found in a French play whose name and author escape me. The centerpiece of the farce (literally, not my commentary,) was that if you want someone to like you, let them save your ass. If you save theirs, they'll hate you. There you have the European mindset, all laid out in a two-liner

#14 18% of the U.S. views the U.S. "unfavorably"....

I'm actually surprised it's that low.

#15 After their backstabbing during our liberation of Iraq we really should do more to ensure that Turkey has a damned good reason to hate us.

Now what did the poor Ivorians do to piss you off that bad, JFM?
