According to opinion polls conducted early in 2008 respondents in western European democracies such as Britain and Spain were most hostile to the idea of even some degree of use of torture, whereas residents in big but poorer countries such as Nigeria, Turkey and India seemed most willing to tolerate the idea. According to the polls, Americans are more willing to tolerate the use of torture than are Chinese.

and the Russians and the Indonesians and the Iranians.
