'The United States' image abroad, bad before the war against Iraq, has plunged further in its aftermath, according to a survey released yesterday.
'The poll, conducted in 20 countries and the Palestinian Authority by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, found softening international support for the war on terrorism, growing fear in several countries that they will be attacked by the United States, and an expansion of deep distrust among Muslims of Bush and his policies.
'"The war with Iraq has further divided the publics of the world," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. "The rift between Americans and Western Europeans has widened and the bottom has fallen out in support of the U.S. in most of the Muslim world."
'Most of the respondents named Bush as the main source of their mistrust of America. In a blow to the White House, U.S. residents questioned said that, on foreign affairs, they had more faith in Tony Blair than in Bush.' - link.
