I think you are correct. I wonder if this article might point to a possibility: Barack Obama may be winning in the U.S. and most global popularity polls, but he's a loser in Pakistan. Dozens of students interviewed at two top universities in this country's second-largest city, a cultural melting pot known for its liberal leanings, rejected Mr. Obama as "too aggressive," "irresponsible" and an "enemy of Muslims" whose stated policy toward insurgency-plagued areas would make a bad situation worse. The anti-Obama sentiment stems from assertions on the campaign trail that the senator from Illinois, if elected president, would authorize U.S. forces to enter Pakistani territory to hunt down Taliban and al Qaeda militants. That the Democratic nominee is an overwhelming favorite abroad is not lost on the students, nor is the Muslim faith of his grandfather nor his Arabic middle name, Hussein. But that is not enough to overcome concerns that an Obama administration would target and further destabilize Pakistan. washingtontimes.com
