Amazing. See how Bush is hated in the world. And see that the image Bush displays for the US is being considered for the entire country, not just for him as a person. He is a very bad representative for the US. Kerry has the support because he is not Bush. Vote Kerry if you want the US to get some international support back in Iraq and if you want the US to be considered the "leader of the free world". Currently the US is the laughing stock of the world and Bush is hated worldwide - except in the Middle East.

Well considering the rest of the world has historically been wrong on just about everything, that's one more reason to vote for Bush. :p

It never ceases to amaze me that when Saddam was invading Kuwait and threatening Europe, the UN and Europeans in particular had the US lead the Desert Storm war to bring him under control. Now, after the lesson learned from the 9/11 attacks, when our president has massive intelligence that Saddam is planning on getting WMD in terrorist's hands and attacking the US and Israel and he takes offensive action, suddenly the US is hated and our president a laughing stock. Not surprisingly though, as more and more info comes in on the oil-for-food scandal, it's becoming apparent that the ones criticizing the US (UN, France, Germany, Russia) avoided involvement in taking Saddam down because they had some very lucrative deals with him. You know what is really shameful? That all of us, and I mean ALL of us, didn't demand that we continue the first war in Iraq until Saddam and all of his cronies, were out of control of that country. How many people who fought by our side were tortured and murdered after we pulled out of Iraq?

As for Kerry getting more international support, it has been made clear time after time that these countries will never get involved in the work in Iraq, they only want the contracts. All of the world hates the US? Then why do we have over 30 countries supporting us with their own troops and money?
Bush loved in the mideast? Then why did OBL threaten terrorist action against states that voted for Bush? Maybe because he has severely damaged OBL's network and OBL believes that Kerry will follow Clinton's tactics of treating it like a law enforcement issue?

If you believe that terrorist attacks are isolated events, then you need to wake up. But, if you believe that there is indeed a franchised movement of radical Muslems trying to force their religion and laws on the rest of the world, then you need to wake up.

I don't care if Bush is hated in the rest of the world. I hate the rest of the world. Usually the more hated the President is by the rest of the world the better off we are.

I did a little research on this "world wide" opinion poll. Considering it is primarily coming from 2 websites, one of which offers to arrange sight unseen marriages, I have to question whether the opinions of the people who visit these sites are representative of their respective nations. Uhhh....nope.
:rolleyes:

Well check this one then

From the same study:
"Finns also had fairly negative views of the United States. Only two percent had a very positive view of the USA. An equally low figure came only from India and Argentina.
The Americans do only slightly better in France, where three percent said that they have a very positive view of the United States.
Very negative or fairly negative attitudes toward the USA were held by 56% of Finns. Negative attitudes were even more prevalent in Greece (63%), Switzerland (67%), and Norway (57%).

You can find the whole study in here:
