A survey shows we’re even less popular in the Arab world than before.

Think our uber-cowboy approach to the invasion of Iraq didn’t have a deleterious impact on our standing in the Arab world? Think again.
A survey conducted by the Pew Global Attitudes Project is proof that the invasion may have only worsened things.
The Washingon Post writes that the survey "suggests that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden inspires more confidence than President Bush across much of the Arab and Muslim world."
The story goes on to say that the survey "shows a further slump in public perceptions of the United States over the past year around the globe, with favorable ratings down to as low as 1 percent in Jordan and the Palestinian territories."
Mark Bowen wrote this in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, which indicates that if those elusive weapons of mass destruction remain missing in action public opinion of the United States around the globe is likely to get worse.
