Barack Obama said tonight we are unpopular in Pakistan, and are having problems there because we supported a dictator

Is this IGNORANCE indicative of the next president of the United States?
Does he actually BELIEVE what he said?
Will McCain's team let this stupid stupid thought pass?

From Pew, this May:

Anti-Americanism in Muslim countries runs deep. For instance, in addition to their unfavorable views of the United States as a country, many Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere see the American people in a negative light--less than one-third of Egyptians, Moroccans, Palestinians, Pakistanis and Turks have a positive opinion of Americans. In a 2005 Pew study, Muslims from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia consistently characterized Americans as greedy, violent, rude and immoral. Few, on the other hand, labeled Americans as honest.
Most of the Muslim world overwhelmingly opposes the U.S.-led war on terrorism. That includes countries such as Pakistan, Egypt and Jordan, usually considered key partners in the fight against al-Qaeda and like-minded groups.
And there is also considerable distrust of American intentions. In 2004, majorities in Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan and Turkey said the U.S.-led war on terrorism was not a sincere effort. Respondents in these countries identified a litany of ulterior motives: controlling Middle Eastern oil, protecting Israel, targeting unfriendly Muslim governments and, most ominously, dominating the world.
Many do not even trust American explanations regarding the event that led to the war on terror--the 9/11 attacks. Suspicion of American motives runs so deep that many now question al-Qaeda's responsibility for the tragedy. Astonishingly, less than half of Muslims surveyed in 2006 in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, Nigeria, Britain, France, Germany and Spain believed the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Arabs. The number of Turks believing Arabs were responsible actually dropped to 16% in 2006, down from 46% in 2002 when the Gallup Organization asked about this issue.At least half of Muslims surveyed in nations such as Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan and Turkey said that most or many Americans, as well as many or most Europeans, are hostile toward Muslims.

And this "most Pakistanis (52%) favor Iran acquiring nuclear weapons."

No leader of Pakistan has anything to do with this.
If Obama was being truthful then he is tragically naive, tragically misinformed, and will lead us into a greater tragedy in a nation of 170 million muslims, most of whom dislike us for very basic reasons of culture and more importantly, religious imperative.
