Reuters AlertNet - Americans anxious about U.S. foreign policy - poll: "WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Americans are anxious about the direction of U.S. foreign policy and how the country is perceived overseas and a majority believe the government has been too quick to go to war, a survey released on Tuesday said.

'Contrary to conventional wisdom that the American public doesn't know and doesn't care how it is seen abroad, strong majorities' believe the U.S. image overseas is suffering and 'large majorities are worried about it,' the survey concluded.

Some 63 percent of Americans say the charge that the United States has been too quick to go to war is justified and three-quarters worry about losing trust abroad and about the growing hatred of the United States in Muslim countries, it said."
