This is why we do foreign aid
07/19/13 at 11:11:38

Some nations still have a soft spot for the U.S., however. Of 39 nations where Pew conducted surveys, here are the 10 where people have the most favorable impression of the U.S.:

1. Philippines (percentage with a favorable view of the United States: 85%)
2. Israel (83%)
3. Ghana (83%)
4. Senegal (81%)
5. Kenya (81%)
6. El Salvador (79%)
7. South Korea (78%)
8. Italy (76%)
9. Uganda (73%)
10. Brazil (73%)

This list of haters is no surprise - well, except IMHO Argentina -

It goes without saying that we remain unpopular in a few places. Here are the 10 nations with the least favorable impression of the U.S., according to Pew:

1. Pakistan (percentage with a favorable view of the United States: 11%)
2. Jordan (14%)
3. Palestinian territories (16%)
4. Egypt (16%)
5. Turkey (21%)
6. Greece (39%)
7. China (40%)
8. Argentina (41%)
9. Tunisia (42%)
10. Lebanon (47%)

Argentina (41%)

Lot of people there are still pretty bitter about the Falkland Islands deal, and since the US is seen as a pretty close friend of GB that might account for some of of the dislike. Still, 41% approval in a foreign country doesn't strike me as all that bad when you consider that half the folks inside this country hate the other half. Sad

US approval in India had always been very high. The day to day squabbles dont go there cos there is their own noise ...
US gets credit for ending WW2, and germany gets credit for weakening the british so much they decided to leave India.
As a result germany isn't hated much either there. We dont hate the british either. I dunno how they can even live over there sometimes.
Slavery has cast a deep dark shadow over the US and nearly 150 yrs ago. Serfdom ended 60 years ago and hasn't left much of a mark in India.

Cool.

No that region is polarised by our support of israel.
You know jesus will only appear where there is complete persecution of his kind and where he can walk across the seas to safety with the people.
As of right now its likely to be some place in the indian ocean or the south pacific where global warming is flooding them out and the whole world is rejecting them ...
Dont look @ the snow capped mountains in israel with the beautiful beaches and the heavy artillery to drown their neighbors 100 X over ...

He's going to appear amongst an obscure Island nation - Tuvalu, Andaman and Nicobar islands where whole prehistoric tribes are going extinct, some place in south pacific where Amelia earhart crashed ... some where there.
Cool.
