So, you think hmm... 54% think well of France and only 9% fell for the "Freedom Fries" nonsense. Then you see this one: 18% consider S.Korea an enemy! And 40% consider them not US friends at all. I am guessing they see Korea and they think Kim Jong Il and the conditioner kicks in? 3% think Norway is a US enemy?! Are you seeing as much paranoia as I am?
