#1 Seeing OBL's popularity wane in the Muslim world is a good sign but he still averages 30% in the countries listed. That would equate to something like 400,000,000 folks in the Muslim world who'd "trust bin Laden to the the right thing regarding world affairs." Faster please.

#2 I am sure that the people being polled are lying through their teeth. Bin Laden is undoubtedly still a hero in the Muslim world. But the very fact that it is no longer respectable to openly express for bin Laden is, in itself, telling.

#4 Doesn't mean all too much does it. There is a whole septic tank cleaner truck full of em to choose from for righteous leadership. All variations on the same sickening sour flavor.

#5 what matters in these polls is the trend

the trend is OK in some places but the trend is negative in Jordan and Pakistan

what I would really like to see is the same questions asked of Moslems in the west

undoubtly the results would show huge numbers of supporters of OBL and of suicide bombings

#6 And, for added confidence in these polls, let's not forget taqiya -- i.e. that it's fine to lie through their teeth, if they feel they need to.

#7 The January Iraqi Elections are responsible for the surge of support for democracy in the middle east. W was and is right, freedom will spread. In 50 years from now I see a democratic and free middle east, God willing.
