The survey found that majorities in Germany, Turkey and France believe the invasion undermined the American "war on terrorism," a view that was shared by half of the British and Russians. "Solid majorities in France and Germany believe the U.S. is conducting the war on terrorism in order to control Mideast oil and dominate the world," according to the Pew Center.
