You're implying that there's a way to do a neutral, clean poll, but I just can't see it. A poll occurs in the real world; even if it tries to strip itself of any context, it remains in the context in which it's given. If a poll-taker has been watching FOX news for the last few years, he/she will answer questions from a context in which Hussein is tied to Al Queda and is almost directly responsible for 9/11. In this context all Arabs are actual or potential fundamentalist terrorists with whom you can't reason. All the U.S. wants to do is to give them democracy and freedom. Since they are a primitive, backward people, the only way to impress them with the value of democracy and freedom is to bomb the shit out them and to torture them because the only thing they respect is force. Once they understand that the U.S., which is also the most democratic and freest country in the world, is also the most powerful country in the world, they will understand that democracy and freedom make you strong and feared and they will choose it for themselves by choosing to serve the interests of the U.S.
Now, would you like to answer a few perfectly netural questions?
