In a report to be published this week, the council said many countries, particularly Islamic ones, saw the US as "arrogant, self-indulgent, hypocritical and unwilling or unable to engage in cross-cultural dialogue". Such a rising tide of resentment could undermine the Bush Administration's efforts to fight terrorism and become an obstacle if the US decided to invade Iraq, the report says. Peter Peterson, a banker and chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, said: "If we're going to fight [the war on terrorism] effectively we'll need the co-operation of a lot of countries." The report was written by a 35-member panel that included news executives, former diplomats and Middle Eastern scholars. The report recommends a sweeping overhaul of broadcast programs intended to promote cross-cultural understanding and to sell US policies abroad. Support is growing in Congress for overhauling the programs. The House of Representatives has already approved a bill, sponsored by the chairman of the international relations committee, Henry Hyde, a Republican. It would increase spending on the programs and consolidate broadcasting operations under one agency. "How is it that the country that invented Hollywood and Madison Avenue has such trouble promoting a positive image of itself overseas?" Mr Hyde asked last week on the House floor. ------------------------ Yahoo!
