Bad News for Sheikh Hassan Mearsheimer

Despite the best efforts of the al-Manar commentator Sheikh Mearsheimer, Americans still support Israel, according to a new CNN poll:

Sixty percent of Americans in the nationwide survey said they were sympathetic toward the Israelis, compared with 17 percent who supported the Palestinians, CNN reported today on its Web site. A recent European poll showed that 23 percent of French people said the Palestinian Hamas group was primarily responsible for the war while 18 percent mainly blamed Israel.
