Saudis Seen as Supporting Terror, Poll Shows Tuesday, February 26, 2002;Page A19
The American public, always willing to call 'em as they see 'em, has another candidate for the Axis of Evil hall of shame.
It's Saudi Arabia.
In fact, Americans rank U.S. ally Saudi Arabia ahead of North Korea and Syria as a supporter of international terrorism, according to a new survey sponsored by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research.
President Bush has identified North Korea, Iraq and Iran as a terrorism "axis of evil."
In the poll, seven of 10 adults said Iraq supports terrorism and nearly as many -- 64 percent -- said Iran does, too.
Forty-four percent said Saudi Arabia also was a patron of terror, while fewer had a similar view of North Korea (38 percent) and Syria (35 percent), according to the survey of 1,006 randomly selected adults.
"It is a bit of a surprise that this many Americans hold a negative image of Saudi Arabia, a country economically and militarily with the U.S. over the past several decades," said the institute's president, Gary Tobin.
Or maybe not.
Osama bin Laden is from a prominent Saudi family, and most of the Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis.
Likewise, Saudi money reportedly has flowed to Islamic terrorist groups around the world, Tobin said.
Another surprise:
Women were somewhat more likely than men to brand the Saudis as terrorist supporters and less likely to criticize North Korea, Iraq, Iran and Syria.
"American women could be perceiving Saudi society as particularly repressive for women, and might be generalizing this negative attitude to other aspects of Saudi government policy," said Sid Groeneman, an institute researcher and president of Groeneman Research & Consulting in Bethesda.
CAMERA READY:
Rather than grousing about television's often skimpy coverage of things foreign, folks at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars have decided to elbow their way on to the crowded airwaves.
The center is teaming up with independent public broadcaster MHz Networks to produce a new foreign affairs TV program called "dialogue" (yes, the "d" is lower-case), inspired by the center's longtime radio show of the same name.
Wilson's George Liston Seay, the voice of radio's "dialogue," also will host the television show.
"My shorthand is 'foreign affairs in the first person,' " Seay said.
"My guests will be people in the regions under discussion . . ., foreign voices."
Seay is now taping the first few installments, which feature guests such as American University Islamic studies professor Akbar Ahmed.
Future guests will include the president of Romania, Mexico's foreign minister and Turkey's leading novelist.
The program is being filmed in a new MHz studio on the ground floor of the Ronald Reagan Building, which also houses the Wilson Center.
Among the attendees at the studio's ribbon cutting last week was Virginia Williams, D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams's mother and frequent political stand-in.
Will the mayor's mom watch the show?
"She'd better," Seay said, and laughed.
"I'm having her son on my radio show in April.
Maybe that will be an inducement."
The half-hour show will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Channel 56, starting March 20.
AEI GOES TO WAR:
Does the American Enterprise Institute want the United States to declare war on France?
Under the headline "We Grow Weary of Les Pipsqueaks," the editors ofThe American Enterprise magazine reprinted a column by conservative pundit Ann Coulter in which she repeatedly spanks France.
Among its affronts, Coulter said, France has "nurtured, coddled and funded" Islamic terrorists and conspired with China and Cuba to get the United States booted off the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
"We've got to attack France," wrote Coulter -- a conclusion she reached even before that French figure skating judge went crazy in Salt Lake City.
Does the appearance of Coulter's francophobe musings mean that AEI endorses storming the Bastille?
"The answer is:
Yes, AEI is in favor of war on France," said AEI resident scholar Michael Ledeen, a European specialist.
"But it's a limited war, not total war."
"We want that part of the Riviera from Marseilles to the Spanish border and all of Paris.
They can keep the rest," Ledeen said.
"And we will impose on them an end to the terrible embargo on hormone-fed beef that makes it impossible to have Morton's restaurants in Europe."
STUDY UP:
Trying to catch up on campaign finance?
Since the measure is awaiting Senate action, it's not too late for a refresher course.

The institute, a nonprofit governed by a bipartisan board and affiliated with George Washington University, "doesn't have a dog in the fight," said Associate Director Daniel Manatt.
"This is such complex stuff, simply playing the role of translator has been a tall enough task."
PEOPLE: George Mason University law professor Peter Berkowitz has signed up as a nonresident research fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Berkowitz will join David Davenport, former head of Pepperdine University, and Stanford political scientist David Brady in Hoover's American Individualism and Values project.
