There's since been a British poll with The United States at the top of the list of countries most threatening of world peace.

AH, you should know better than to cross the line from ****-stirrer to self-proclaimed political commentator (i've always wanted an excuse to use that smiley )

A survey using such an interpretative statement is of limited meaning and subsequent value. Your title even suggested that the US was the greatest threat, even though it was Iraq. In that case, maybe you are just ****-stirring

The fact that the actual questions asked were not shown indicates that the results were interpreted beforehand rather than made public so that people could make up their own minds. Lies, lies, and statistics

I would have thought that the greatest threat to world peace is terrorism. I bet that wasn't even an option in the poll, was it? Terrorism targets civilians directly so it impacts more than any war between countries (assuming modern tactical warfare).

The pursuit of peace is a noble cause, but where were the protesters against terrorism???

A point we should all have made.

If this were an anti-France poll or pro-war poll; you'd be praising it and telling all the anti-war people how stupid they are.
