Poll: China Image Scores Better Than U.S.

"WASHINGTON -- the United States‘ image is so tattered overseas two years after the Iraq invasion that China, which is ruled by a communist dictatorship, is viewed more favorably than the U.S. in many countries, an international poll found."

Tattered? Can they be serious? A favorable Communist Dictatorship?

"Eleven of the 16 countries surveyed by the Pew Research Center -- Britain, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan and Indonesia -- had a more favorable view of China than the U.S."

Lets see; figures, figures, figures, figures, figures, figures, figures, figures, figures, and figures.

"We should keep plugging away on democracy," he said. "But we need to do a better job of communicating what we're trying to do."

Oh, this explains enough. Thank God they have no (little?) say in our politics.
