Last night we were having a few threads that touched upon how America was viewed by other peoples around the world.
By coincidence, I found these couple of blog/threads/articles on the BBC which might make interesting reading:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/news/2008/09/080904_talking_america_debate.shtml
There are some quite surprising points of view in the comments and posts, particularly from Pakistan and Iran. I consider myself reasonably well appraised of world affairs and international relations and there were some things said that really surprised me.
