SO WHAT DOES THE ARAB WORLD THINK OF US?

THIS article comes via Global Politician.com.

It's based on a 2010 Arab Public Opinion Poll conducted by Zogby International and the University of Maryland for the Brookings Institution. The poll was only done in relatively moderate countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Here is one finding, but you GOTTA' go read the entire article.

"Arab views "hopeful" about the Obama Administration policy in the Middle East declined from 51 to 16 percent between 2009 and 2010, while those "discouraged" rose from 15 to 63 percent. Why? Because while the Obama Administration tried to flatter Arabs and Muslims, go all-out to support the Palestinians, distanced themselves from Israel, and took other steps it was not deemed sufficient."

Again, you gotta go HERE to read the entire story.
