"In Europe, as well as predominantly Muslim countries, the U.S. is generally less popular than Germany, France, Japan, and China. However, the U.S. fares somewhat better in Asia; in fact, Indians rate the U.S. higher than Germany, France, or China and only slightly below Japan. However, America's favorability rating has dropped 15 points in India since last year."

Gee.

Less popular than China?

Double Gee.

Averaging the five Moslem countries (four of those are the largest population Moslem countries):

it seems 20% of Moslems expect Iran to give nukes to terrorists;

63% expect Iran to only use nukes defensively

which would mean that perhaps as many as 37% think Iran might use nukes offensively

48% and 42%, respectively think Iran is likely to attack Israel or the US or Europe.

Sounds very alarming to me.
