His map is basically the third world and below. The theory is not that different from what NDD has been saying about Mexico, which is that you want to improve conditions to improve stability.
Duh!

Skipper,
It was written a little while ago and there are some things I would add as well. Probably needs to be updated, but I like the terms and concept.

Well done NDD ! 
I'd be curious as to the survey itself - who did the asking, how were the questions worded , was it done verbally or was it written, how random was the sample etc

I think that the UK is suffering from the same hand wringing, grasping of the pocket books, wetting of their pants, just like Kerry and his ilk espouses. People tend to pull their heads into their shells if nothing bad happens directly to them, or they simply suffer from short memories.
Another question that I have is:
Do you see the great influx of immigrants entering the UK from Muslim countries affecting British opinion, and does this poll reflect that new populace's opinions/views.
Immigration issues are ever increasingly an issue on a sovereign nations security policy, but are they also having greater effect on the social profiles, morals, and national identity than we realize?

To be honest, they're not well informed. Iraq and A-Stan only get tiny mentions at the back of even the best newspapers. Furthermore, the 'general media' have been heavily anti-war over here, and are very, very anti-Bush.
It's a confused population, at my reading.
