Israeli officials say Iran should be punished with much tougher sanctions now that it is clearly defying the international community. But i don't know what israel is talking about since they are no better. If you put tougher sanctions on Iran than the same should apply for israel. So it does not suprise me to see these two countries bottom 2.

As for U.S, they should be next to israel. They prob. fixed the poll.
