>A generally favorable view of America is held in 35 of the 42 countries that
took part in the survey.

Only 35/42? Oh no oh my oh dear! That's only a tiny 83.3% majority of all
nations. Whatever shall we do?

> Among Russians, U.S. popularity has surged 24 points, from 37 percent two

respectively.

Heh! Nigeria. I guess they're not all bad then. They just got a few
troublemakers over there who don't like beatuy queens but we can lend them
some CIA agents ...

Uzbek? Isn't that where they have all the goat-herders? Well God bless them
then! No one who is a friend to goats is a bad person, you know. That's an
established fact.

So I was watching the boob tube the other day over at my mom's trailer and
they were interviewing these american mountain climbers, a guy and a girl,
they were probably not old enough to buy liquor. Anyway so they and two
other guys went of to OUZBEZISTAN or AZERBAIJAN or one of those places no
one (goat) herd of ten years ago and when they were rapelling down off some
mountin there were some Islamic Insurgents who took them hostage! They
marched them along steep trails in the wilderness and ate all of their
granola bars (can you believe it? i mean how rude though they did share and
had not eaten much lately so maybe that was ok) and anyway there they are
marching for days at gunpoint but they make pals with their captors and are
running out of granola bars and that's it there ain't no more and now the
snow is coming and the Islamic Insurgents would not look at or speak to or
learn the name of the girl wich was just fine with her and so the guy
finally can't stand it anymore they are out of granola bars and it is
snowing now and is below zero and they are all going to die since the
Insurgents have already killed some other captives they had and so the guy
grabs the Insurgent walking beside him by his rifle and tosses them both
over the side of the cliff into a 2000 foot deep ravine at the bottom of
which are icy rapids and ragged rocks and they make a run for it as the
bullets are flying at them and they run for tens of miles and finally come
to a Uzbekistani military outpost on the frontier and they go in there and
after someconfusion of them getting shot at its ok the military people want
to know what is going on and what is the deal with these Americans they have
never even seen americans before and why do they have that woman with them
and she is uncovered imagine that well this is practically like baywatch and
so they don't speak the language but they have a great time and after
travelling several hundred more miles they return back to some remote city
where at least there is a phone to call home and tell them they were held
hostage by bloodthirsty insurgents and barely escaped by tossing a man into
a ravine but no worries everything is fine and he says I think I love her
after this and we're going to get married and so they did.

Anyway, it was a neat interview.

This explains why 87% of the Uzbekistanis lave America. They've heard the
story. It's going around.
