Re: "Things going well in Iran? NK? Venezuela? Honduras?" Compared to WHAT? (The year before? Ten years before? What?) Regardless though, you appear to have silently slipped away from the subject of the original post: Message 25808065 Which was simply announcing the RESULTS of Opinion Polling which seems to clearly establish that America's reputation, (it's 'image'), in the minds of various foreign peoples, (most especially in Europe), has nearly COMPLETELY REBOUNDED from the lows that it had fallen to in the latter years off the Bush Presidency.... According to a new global poll by the Pew Research Center, "in many countries opinions of the United States are now about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade before George W. Bush took office." Among the reasons: Obama's June speech in Cairo to the Muslim world, as well as pledges to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. "Improvements in the U.S. image have been most pronounced in Western Europe, where favorable ratings for both the nation and the American people have soared," the poll says. "But opinions of America have also become more positive in key countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, as well."
