| Here's a tricky question: Who's actions have in the last 3 or 4 years made Islamic leaders so popular with the public in the Middle East (well Egypt anyway, an ally of the US):
[a] President Bush (aka US foreign policy)
[b] Bin Laden (or Al Qaeda and other Islamic radical groups)
[c] Both?
| quote: |
...a recent public opinion survey of 1,700 Egyptians by the Cairo-based Ibn Khaldun Center:
Hezbollah's action garnered 75 percent approval
Nasrallah led a list of 30 regional public figures ranked by perceived importance.
Nasrallah appears on 82 percent of responses, followed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (73 percent), Khaled Meshal of Hamas (60 percent), Osama bin Laden (52 percent) and Mohammed Mahdi Akef of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (45 percent).

Does that mean Bin Laden's more popular in the ME than Bush in his own coutry? | |
