I'll be honest here for a second. One of the reasons I don't like Americans is because what they consider hot sauce is simply too sweet for me. So I'm forced to make my own sauce, real sauce.

Well unlike France (what exactly are they doing in the world that is so good anyway? All they are doing is criticising America and anyone can do that! What are they doing to make things better?! Sod all thats what!) the UK has a number of political initiatives that I think I can be really proud of. They seem to be the only country (outside the Arab world - altho their commitment to resolving the plight of the Palestinians is certainly questionable) that actually wants AND is doing something to make head way in the Middle East peace process (unlike the rest of the countries that merely pay lip service to it - US/Israel) - however, we have neither the power nor the influence so like I say - if we did the world would be much better! Also we have Brown's comendable Africa programme which too makes me proud. And I do believe a certain poster *cough cough* praised Labour for progress made in the Northern Ireland peace process...

It's all just perception. I mean China... CHINA (the land of human rights...) for fucks sake score about the same as the UK!

I praised Tony Blair..but i suppose labour as well...and anyway it begs the question.....why do we need a peace process in Northern Ireland in the first place...it wouldnt be anything to do with previous British infleunce by any chance... ......

Anyway i feel there is a lot of historical baggage that goes with British infleunce to make it a really effective world leader...i do have faith in Blair and Labour at the moment...but i have absolutly f**kall faith in the tories...and would dread the thought of what they would do with a lot of infleuunce in the world.

Lets face it most countries want infleunce in the world for economic advantage...very few want it for altruistic reasons....they either want it for economic or security reasons...mainly money....

I'd go as far as none actually with expection of perhaps Tibet (China permitting of course... )

Interesting, but no suprises there!

Well, they didnt ask, "which is your favorite country" or "which country would you like to live in", they only asked what they thought about a certain countries world influence, so chinas relativly calm foreign policies (except taiwan/tibet i guess) is better appreciated than UK's relativly agressive one (and the US's even more agressive one).

its a bad sample group.
You can't just go around and ask 23 countries. They don't even have many important economies and countries in there.

Yet they have tiny insignificant Lebanon. Why not Egypt? Syria? Saudia? Pakistan?

Lots more countries need to be included to make this survey at least look respectable.

the US vs Europe(or UK). lemme see. neigther. the world would be a better place if there were more balance of power IMO. unchecked power is never a good thing. both have carried out/supported horrible attrocities mainly against non-european nations.
