What on earth is the problem? The poll wasn't promoting "anti-Americanism", whatever that means, it was giving people a chance to test out whether their guesses about where it was more and less prevalent.

I only got two right - the quote from Chelsea Clinton, which I remembered reading somewhere, and I guessed Uzbekistan was probably a fairly pro-American place, compared to the other Muslim countries listed.

But I get the feeling that the knee-jerk assumption from some people that this was an exercise in encouraging people to hate America is a bit uncalled for. Anything more than the least superficial glance at it would have shown that it wasn't.

Myself I think I probably hate the same things about America as the Americans whom I most admire. I don't think that is anti-American in any way. I could probably say the same about most countries, including the one I live in.

The difference with America is that we in other countries are exposed to it through the mass media far more than to any other country (even including our own, for many people). And the mass media tends to pick out the least interesting and least admirable things about any country. That perhaps does give a rather unfortunate impression.
