Why They Hate Us 2.0
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
Disturbing news from a Zogby poll about how Arab opinion toward the U.S. is worsening. TIME summarizes:
--There is a hardening of negative attitudes toward the U.S. and now even a downwards slide in attitudes toward our people, culture, values and products.--There is less confidence that there will be peace and stability in the region in the next five years, with growing concern in several countries about the regional consequences of an Iraqi civil war; the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and a mounting concern about Iran’s intentions and U.S.-Iranian tensions.
--There is a turning inward. Arabs are investing more in their own economies instead of in the West, and more engaged than ever before with problems closer to home.
--There is a turning away from the U.S., as Arabs are factoring the East (China, India, and Southeast Asia) more significantly in their future investment strategies.
--There is a growing public pressure on Arab governments, especially those who maintain strong ties to the U.S. to distance themselves from our policies.
