Every single person in the non-America world wants to see Barack Obama elected. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration.
22 countries in a BBC World Service poll would prefer Democratic nominee Barack Obama elected US president instead of his Republican rival John McCain. Obama is preferred by a four to one margin on average across the 22,000 people polled.
But then, a significant number of those non-Americans also think that Israel was behind the 9/11 attacks.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Seven years after the Sept. 11 attacks, there is no consensus outside the United States that Islamist militants from al Qaeda were responsible, according to an international poll published Wednesday.
The survey of 16,063 people in 17 nations found majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people in 2001.
On average, 46 percent of those surveyed said al Qaeda was responsible, 15 percent said the U.S. government, 7 percent said Israel and 7 percent said some other perpetrator. One in four people said they did not know who was behind the attacks.
Coincidence, or simply cosmic alignments occurring on a plane beyond our limited perception?

No surprise there — they have socialist leanings, are mostly secular, so they don’t see the dangers of militant Islam, etc., etc. Plus, it’s so nice to take a shot at America. Feels so good.
traveler,
Agreed. I don’t care about the world thinks.
I want only whats right for America.
Too true! What does it matter what the rest of the world thinks about who should be our President.
The simple truth is, even with our faults, we are still the best country in the world. No other country does more for others when the need arises.
Traveler is right, socialist countries would like to see America that way. There are no ifs, ands or buts… Obama is a socialist.
