The 14 Countries With New Air Security Checks

The Obama Administration has mandated extra scrutiny from people flying into the US from 14 mostly Muslim countries. I'd love to see a poll of how those countries view the US. Those countries are:

*Afghanistan
*Algeria
*Cuba (considered a state sponsor of terrorism)
*Lebanon
*Libya
*Iran (considered a state sponsor of terrorism)
*Iraq
*Nigeria
*Pakistan
*Saudi Arabia
*Somalia
*Sudan (considered a state sponsor of terrorism)
*Syria (considered a state sponsor of terrorism)
*Yemen

Soon the terrorists will fly from the countries not on the list, but I guess it is a necessary measure.

BBC World Service conducts good global surveys. This one was done in February 2009 ("Vuews of the United States' Influence" can be found on page 9).
