War in Iraq Badly Damages US Image Internationally (2/2)

President Bush is often the target of anti-American demonstrations. But the United States as a whole has not been spared from global public opinion. Mark Glancy is an expert on Anglo-American relations at Queen Mary, University of London.

"I think it is entirely culturally acceptable now in Britain to be anti-American. And that is a legacy of the war."

Some, like Cairo taxi driver Saad Awad says all is not lost, that the United States can rehabilitate its image.

He says, to do so, the United States must end the occupation of Iraq and let Iraqis depend on themselves. He says everything taking place in Iraq is because of the U.S. occupation.

President Bush has stated he will bring American forces home as quickly as the situation in Iraq allows. Andrew Kohut says, if Iraq is stabilized, lasting democracy takes root, and most U.S. combat forces withdraw, he expects global anger over the U.S. involvement in Iraq to subside.

Presidential candidates of both major U.S. political parties have said that repairing America's image abroad will be a top priority upon taking office.

布什总统常是反美示威游行的目标。但是，作为整体—美国也无法免于全球人民的（反对）。 Mark Glancy 是伦敦玛丽女王学院英美关系的专家。

“我认为现在的英国社会完全可以接受反美主义。并且，这是战后的遗留问题。”

一些人，比如开罗出租司机Saad Awad，认为事情还是可以挽回的，美国仍然可以重建其形象。

他说，如果要这样做，美国必须结束对伊拉克的占领，让伊拉克人自制。他说所有事发生都是由于美国的占领造成的。

布什总统声明到，一旦伊拉克情势允许，他将立即让美军撤军。安德鲁•科哈说，如果伊拉克稳定，民主可以扎根于此，且美军撤离，他期望全球因伊拉克而对美国不满的情绪可以得到平息。

美国两大党的候选人都说重建美国的海外形象将是他们上任后的首要任务。
