Default Positve/Negative world image survey

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17474900/

Israel, Iran, U.S. have most negative image.

Saw this articel today on msn.com I thought it was very interesting. I knew the U.S. wouldn't place at the top, but come on, between Iran and North Korea?!?!. What do you guys think....fair...accurate....right

I saw a newspaper piece on this and they said that countries that lent towards military power did poorly whereas countries that didn't were favoured.

Headline here went: Canada's Image Best of 12 Countries, Poll says

I think the article said the survey was to rank the country's according to negative effect on the world.

I'd put the US at the top of my list. But that's me.

That is true, and ranking was done by 28,000 people and the link they seemed to find that military countries were not popular. Hence the low ranking for the US. I suppose people see a military force as a negative impact on the world.
