The U.S. in a Much Hotter Water

It was noticed at the UN summit that a number of world leaders were outspoken about America’s interventions and war against terror as a threat to their own and the existence of other third world countries. The three outspoken leaders who seemed to read from the same line were the leaders of Iran, Venezuela, and the Sudan. Even if they still do not have the backup of the whole of the third world countries, they had made enough stir whose outcome is eyed as worrisome by U.S. official and some have gone as far as saying more work is needed to smooth the wrinkle and the rift created.

Each leader had their own well-formed opinion about what America is doing around the world. Chavez worries about the imperial aspiration of the Americans, while Ahmadinejad condemns the Americans drive to become "rulers of the world", and Bashir is worried to death that powerful intruders are trampling on his and other countrys’ sovereignty. Polls taken around the world have shown that the Americans effort in fighting terrorism around the world has got only a lukewarm support among Europeans, while those in the Middle East are against it. The highest opposition was 77% in Jordan and in France, it was 57%. In addition, the showdown against the U.S. had even been more pronounced in Havana where 118-nation summit of the non-aligned movement took place, which involved more heavyweights like Evo Morals of Bolivia.
