OPINION POLL FINDING IN ARAB NATIONS
Bush a greater threat than Laden’
Large majorities in Arab countries view the US President George W Bush as a greater threat than the Al Qaeda supremo Osama Bin Laden, a media report said on Saturday.
The Advisory Committee on Cultural Diplomacy under the US State Department cited a poll that found that large majorities in Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia view Bush as a greater threat to the world order than Osama bin Laden.
The Congressionally-mandated panel, in a report, also warned the Department that America’s image and reputation abroad could hardly be worse.
The report said that the United States is viewed as less a beacon of hope than a dangerous force to be countered.
The report, which has been seen by senior officials but not yet officially released, said that a fact-finding mission to the Middle East last year found that there is deep and abiding anger toward US policies and actions.
It warned that TV images of US policy choices such as in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the invasion of Iraq reverberate across the Arab media and will long haunt the image of the United States, the Post said.
