A new Pew Center for the People and the Press poll on international attitudes towards the US on the one year anniversary of the Iraq invasion was released today. And it's really depressing. [Or, as Wonkette might say, "They hate us, they really hate us!"]

"The latest survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project,
conducted from late February to early March in the U.S.
and eight other countries, shows that Muslim anger toward
the United States remains pervasive, although the level of
hatred has eased somewhat and support for the war on
terrorism has inched up. Osama bin Laden, however, is viewed
favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%)
and Morocco (45%). Even in Turkey, where bin Laden is highly
unpopular, as many as 31% say that suicide attacks against
Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable."

And Europe's almost as bad.

Read the poll results here.
