World Says U.S. in Iraq Bigger Threat to Peace Than Iran

"Obviously, when you get many more people saying that the US presence in Iraq is a threat to world peace as say that about Iran, it's a measure of how much Iraq is sapping good will to the United States," said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center.

In another finding that will concern Washington, support for the war on terror is also declining in most of the surveyed countries. The poll indicates that this is true even in countries that have experienced terrorist attacks, like Britain and Spain. In Britain the support for the war on terror has fallen from 63 percent in 2004 to 49 percent. In Spain, only 19 percent of those surveyed now support the war on terror, down from a high of 76 percent. Only in India and Russia did a majority support the US-led fight against terrorism.
