A poll for non-USAmericans! What do you think of the current Bush administration? How did you arrive at your opinion?

Well, when his policies don't effect you directly its going to be slightyl unfair to give an opinion. I've heard bad things though :D

Guantanamo (and the handling of the three recdent suicides); Iraq exit lack-of-strategy; War on an unendable and undefeatable idea; lying to the world repeatedly; and so on... the list goes on. Its as bad as printing money to prevent inflation or slashing taxes to get more money in the Treasury. Wait, he did that.

Bush is a lier, and he makes war in too much lands... people die and suffer 'cause of this one stupid man. That's crazy, isn't it?

For me I have to admit that I used to hate Dubya lots, like an over-the-top hate. That was in '03 and when they decided to invade Iraq based on the mythical "WMDs" largely without world support. Nowadays I just avoid reading international news and prefer local tabloid trash, since nothing in international politics makes any sense to me any more. :cool:

Though the Prime Minister of my country (Kirribilli Cowboy John Howard) may beg to differ, George Bush is a complete dumbass, end of story.

"Dumbass" pretty much sums it up. That, as such, is not really a problem. The problem seems to be that he's trying to make people think he's not a complete idiot... and that's when things tend to turn really bad.

Without living in the US I generally only read and see of the foreign policy components of this administration; and thus, it seems that this administration has been plagued with mishaps, misadventures, mistakes and mismanagement - maybe the next administration will be a 'Mis's (Clinton) - what do you think. Unlikely, but it would be interesting...

I'm English. I don't like Bush himself that much, but I can sort of appreciate what he's doing. I know I'm going to get flamed for writing this but I might as well tell the truth, so here goes:

I think we need to rid the world of dictators even though some people might die and some cities get destroyed now, because in the long run it'll be worth it. Yes I know I sound cynical and evil and all that, but in a few decades the countries will be better places. If there were no dictators in the world it would be easier to eliminate world poverty and relations, and perhaps even start disarmament, though that's still a long shot.

At this rate, with everyone insulting US foreign policy it won't be too long before America becomes isolationist again, and we all know what happened last time.

Though I do question Bush's motives for going to war, as he turns a blind eye to other dictatorships in the world that are important trade partners for America, and this war probably was for US gain, but still, I am happy to see dictatorships ruined, though I wonder how much longer it will take to 'establish peace'.

From what I hear about Bush's home policy though, I gather he's a dumbass.

You know, technically anyone who doesn't Kneel Before Sod and worship George W. Bush as the Next Messiah and The Greatest President in the history of the United States is going to be considered Un-American :D

It makes me sick that he uses discrimination to get votes from the bible-belt, re: Gay marriage.
It also makes me sick that he murders the English language regularly >.<

I for one wouldn't have much of a problem with that :D

He is evil. he keeps attacking other nations just for the oil. And his speeches suck.


And I hate how Americans in the Bible belt vote for him JUST TO KEEP THE GAYS FROM MARRYING.

I guess I should bump this up for the benefit of non-USAmerican Bush-Lovers who are just gushing with admiration.

As an American, I hope so. I don't begrudge the world, but frankly, if people want to kill each other, that's fine if they ain't pointing the guns at us. If I had control, the only ones I'd THINK about helping would be Japan and Israel. *Runs before he get's flamed.* *Runs back* oh and Mexico/Canada, close to home and all that. *runs again*

Constant comparisons with Hitler don't work on anybody really, simply because the scale and depravity of what happened then is very hard to equal, and there is not one with political influence today who seriously has anything like that kind of agenda.

Next, I'm not sure willfully making "mistakes" for undisclosed reasons can necessarily be called incompetence. Some aims are no doubt competently achieved. Merely not those stated.

No place for a reasonable critical vote...

Everyone hates him now, but you just wait till Schwartzennegger gets in. Then you'll wish for bush back. Or just a bush to hide under, w/e.

Demolition Man was just a movie. Unless they do pass an Amendment that allows non-natives to run for President, Il Duhce George W. Bush is the worst President in U.S. history.

Your score is 0 on a scale of 1 to 10. You hate Bush with a writhing passion. You think he is an idiot, a liar, and a warmonger who has been an utterly incompetent, miserable failure of a president. Nothing would give you greater pleasure than seeing him impeached and run out of the White House, except maybe seeing him dragged away in handcuffs.


:D
