WHY DO THE EXPERTS HATE AMERICA?


EXPERTS SAY WAR ON TERROR NOT GOING WELL

A survey conducted by Foreign Policy Magazine and the Center for American Progress has found that experts in foreign policy and terrorism believe that the current war on terror is going much worse than Americans think, according to Reuters.

Out of the 117 experts in the survey, 87 percent believe that the war in Iraq has only provoked terrorism and made it even more likely that the U.S. is attacked again. Only 44 percent of Americans agree with that statement. Although 56 percent of Americans believes that the U.S. is winning the war on terror, only 13 percent of the experts would agree.

While the experts believe that there is a risk of a chemical, biological, or nuclear attack on the nation, 67 percent of them said that the next attack will most likely be carried out by suicide bombers.

The experts are predicting that the U.S. will be hit again soon and hard. Eighty-four percent of them expect an attack to be carried out in the U.S. within the next five years at a scale comparable to the London bombings or Madrid bombings. Seventy-nine percent said that the next attack would be at the scale of the attacks on 9/11.

The experts blame the dire situation on poor management of foreign policy, and poor homeland security policies by the government. When asked to grade the Bush Administration’s foreign public policy, they gave the performance of the job an F-minus.
