And even if you dont want to believe it's THE most hated country there is no denying that it's at least in the top 3. Still my statement before stands. He is trying and actually changing the perception people have of the USA and some can turn to the USA as a internationnal leader again. That is a big achievement IMO.

some of the international community might not have liked bush - but the mexicans that kept crossing the border sure didnt mind - so at the very least usa > mexico

msnbc poll

you were pretty close there tark. USA is 3rd most hated, article dated mar 6, 2007.

Israel was viewed negatively by 56 percent of respondents and positively by 17 percent; for Iran, the figures were 54 percent and 18 percent. The United States had the third-highest negative ranking, with 51 percent citing it as a bad influence and 30 percent as a good one
but side note - says canada is #1

added - still not "most" hated BBC poll

+1 for tarks campaign
changing the rest of the worlds opinion is a great step IMO, best anti-terrorist weapon we have

as for the prize, its all media crap regardless, but i do think that the election of obama marked a serious step towards what the piece prize represents, and that is worthy, not necessarily his own doing, but you have to give it to someone
