Image Crisis: How Is the U.S. Viewed in the Middle East?

This ABC News program explores how U.S. involvement in Iraq and Israel post-9/11 has affected—fairly or unfairly—its image in the Arab world. U.S. hopes to boost its impression there by installing a democratic government in Iraq after toppling Saddam Hussein have been plagued by insurgent combat, especially in Fallujah and Najaf. And President Bush’s support of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s unilateral policies against the Palestinians’ collective future has only seemed to enflame Middle Eastern mistrust. Ted Koppel speaks with Senators Richard Lugar and Joseph Biden, the top senators from both parties on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. (23 minutes)
