Britain's Guardian newspaper said it carried out the survey along with Israel's Haaretz, La Presse and Toronto Star in Canada and Mexico's Reforma.

In Britain, which alongside Israel is traditionally a close Washington ally, 69 per cent of those questioned said they felt US policy had made the world less safe since 2001.

A majority of Canadians and Mexicans agreed, with 62 per cent of those polled in Canada and 57 per cent in Mexico saying their neighbour's policy had made the world more dangerous.

Some 89 per cent of Mexicans felt the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein was unjustified, as did 73 per cent of Canadians and 71 per cent of Britons, the survey said.

Asked whether they thought the US leader was a great or moderate danger to peace, 75 per cent of British people said yes. Some 87 per cent felt the same about bin Laden, while Kim scored 69 per cent and Ahmadinejad clocked 62 per cent.

ICM interviewed 1010 adults from October 27-30 in Britain. Professional local opinion polling was used in the other three countries, the Guardian said. In Israel, 1078 people were asked, 1007 were quizzed in Canada and 1010 in Mexico.
