"The recent war between Israel and Hezbollah guerillas cost the United States dearly in the eyes of Lebanese, a poll taken just over a month after the violence found. Part of the Gallup World Poll project, the survey released Tuesday compared findings from its latest canvass, in August, 2005. In almost every category, the United States was the big loser. Nearly two-thirds of the Lebanese - 64 percent - who said their opinions of the United States were worse after the month of fighting than before. Almost half those polled described their opinions as "much worse" after the war in which Israel's mainly U.S-equipped military did substantial damage to Lebanese villages, roads, bridges and other infrastructure."
