No, Ludd, wrong. Go back and re-read what you wrote there.
You missed two very important words, "perceived as".
In parts of europe, the US is
perceived as the main threat to world peace, not NK or Iran.
Then you compound your error of logic with the second sentence. Polls prove nothing. Nothing at all. In the first place, a poll deals only with opinions, not facts. In the second place, a poll doesn't even
prove what people's opinions are, since a poll only samples a tiny portion of the body being surveyed, then extrapolates those results to the entire body.
If you had chosen your words more carefully, you could have said what you were
trying to say in a clear and concise fashion. Instead, you blurted out an ill-constructed "sound bite" that made you look like you don't have a clue.
And are you seriously suggesting that public opinion in europe should shape US foreign policy?
