Here’s a depressing poll:

CAIRO, Aug 18 (Reuters) – Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan
Nasrallah has been named the most popular figure in the Middle
East in an Egyptian poll.
Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal took second place and Iran
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad third, said Saadeddin Ibrahim of
the Ibn Khaldoun Center for Development Studies on Friday.
Researchers asked about 1,200 people from a range of
backgrounds in 15 of Egypt’s 26 governorates to rank a list of
30 prominent people in the Middle East including writers,
politicians, judges, statesmen and religious scholars.
Ibrahim said the poll results were preliminary and the full
results would be released in about a week.
A 34-day war between Israel and Lebanese Hizbollah
guerrillas was halted by a ceasefire on Monday.
