Americans rank foreign countries

Harris Poll :

First column: Friendly; second: Friendly not Close Ally; third: Not friendly not enemy ;

1. Great Britain % 74, 18, 3;
2. Canada % 48, 37, 10;
3. Australia % 36, 36, 9;
4. Israel % 41, 31, 13;
5. Japan % 30, 37, 2;

Two points:

The leftward moving, Iraq non supporting Canada, numbers have little basis with reality.

What would Israel have to do to be considered a "close ally"?
