Some 63 per cent said the charge that the United States had been too eager to go to war was totally or partially justified.

But a streak of unilateralism was also evident, as nearly a fifth of those surveyed said that America was totally justified to be concerned only with its own interests and to disregard those of other nations.

Eighty-three per cent of those surveyed however, gave the United States an A or B grade for helping other country's during natural disasters.

But 64 per cent gave the United States a C grade or worse for having good relations with Muslim countries.

Foreign Affairs is an influential foreign policy journal published by the Council on Foreign Relations. Public Agenda is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization.

The poll was based on four focus groups by telephone with a random sample of 1,004 adults between June 1 and June 13, with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
