Like:
CNN estimates 49% of U.S. voters for Bush
There are estimated 294,502,629 Americans in 2000. For the sake of simplicity, let's use this number and say that the whole number is the amount of U.S. citizens once rounded up to the nearest hundred-thousands.
Half of 295,000,000 is 147,500,000.

Let us pretend that another 20,000,000 people like Bush and his policies around the world. A small number on a global scale however.

167,500,000 people like Bush.

Now, for those who dislike Bush.

The remaining half of U.S. voters is 147,500,000.
Let us say that the entire Iraqi population dislikes Bush, 25,374,691.
That gives us 172,847,691 people thus far.

Let us say that all of France dislikes Bush, 60,424,213
Giving us 233,298,904.

Let us say that Iran represents the remaining population of the Mid East that dislikes Bush, 69,018,924
302,317,828

Let us say that Mexicans dislikes Bush's business policies, whopping 104,959,594...
407,277,422 people...

Let us have Zambia represent the Africans that care enough to dislike Bush, 10,462,436
That makes 417,739,858

And we cannot forget our Canadian allies, who will no longer be allies with Bush! 32,507,874
Thus far, 450,247,732

Nearly half a billion people. Let us continue.

The Brits! They're sick of Bush using Tony Blair as his bitch, 60,270,708
Giving us 510,518,440!

Ahh yes, the Germans. They must be accounted for! 82,424,609 (holy ****)
592,943,049 people who dislike Bush....THUS FAR!

Of course, how could I forget the brainwashed North Koreans? Unfortunatly, the CIA World Factbook has no information on North Korea. So we'll have to make do with another 5 million.
597,943,049

Can't forget the Commie-Cubans! 11,308,764
609,251,813

oh...Thailand! And Vietnam as well! 64,865,523 and 82,689,518!
756,815,854





THE CURRENT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE BUSH:
167,500,000

THE CURRENT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE BUSH:
756,815,854

Please Note, this was last updated Oct 12, 2004. This list was made using the CIA World Factbook and shere estimates of the U.S. population (CIA Factbook says 293 million EDIT) Please, share your comments and complaints about why you think or do not think that a country or a number of population should be on the list. If reasonable and backed, it will be listened to. I don't think myself that 756.8 million people dislike Bush, more or less. I am open to REASONABLE notifications

There we go...

I guess it's a good thing for him then that he's not running for President of the World.

Ditto, seeing as how I'm scared of the sheer amount of power India and China will wield in an electoral college!

Isn't he? I bet that's what he thinks he's running for. Pity only americans get to vote for it. It's like Baseball that way.

The U.S.A. always seems to have the World Champion baseball team, doesn't it? :p

Actually, I think your numbers are too high for the US and too low for the world.

i think your numbers might be coming out a bit skewed, while it looks like a larger ammount of people in the world might dislike bush your making generalizations about peoples opinions... i mean... i kind of doubt ALL of any country would dislike bush, and im sure there are large margins of people that dont feel one way or another about bush...

Ehm that's a wild number of assumptions. Just because you vote for someone for president you like him? Or 'like' him? Perhaps you just him as president? Like his administration? See him as a lesser evil? Don't vote on a person, but on plans? Geez..

..but i believe those who generally assume Bush is dislikened by the world are right, yes. I just don't believe these numbers to be even rough estimates.

lol. The entire population of those countrys dislike him? I doubt it. Anyway...Who gives a crap what the other countrys think? I hate these posts I really do and I am going to laugh my ass off if Bush wins. Laugh until I pass out. Then I will wake up point then laugh again.

Another point. Pity you can't vote in our elections? How would you like it if we voted in yours? I don't think you would like it at all if someone american supported was running your country (assuming you are not from the us).

The point is that the US has a huge influence on the rest of the world. Not only economically (the bad economic situation in the US is actually an advantage to me :)).

As example, say the war against Iraq didn't happen. Well, do you really think Spain would have been attacked by Al-Qaida then? I beg to differ, because then Al-Qaida couldn't influence the democratic process that huge, as they did. They brought the anti-war socialists in power while the country was anti-war.

We, the world, have the UN to decide and act for global milirary and humanitarian problems. This is because we have to create consensus, a form of unity, so we act based upon our combined responsibility. That is why, unless there is a threat for an individual country, we should act under that flag instead of on our own uhhh.. ''alliance'.

You would have a point if the UN decided and acted effectively, but it dosen't.

Yeah, alot of people hate Bush...

But I really doubt that a 5 year old in Thailand has any opinions to offer on Bush.

the commie cubans 11,308,764

as a Cuban, in a nation where the people are
not able to vote for diffrent leaders or political
partys, are not able to express thier diffrent views,
where over 2,500,000 million are in exile for political
and economic reasons of disagreement with their government
to say 11.308,764 commie cubans and therefore hate bush,
I have to take exception to that.

1) Too many generalizations.
2) You forget that a lot of the World just doesn't care...and a lot of Americans too.
