Britons name Bush second greatest threat to world peace

WEll, isn't that good.

Excerpt


America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies, according to an international survey of public opinion published today that reveals just how far the country's reputation has fallen among former supporters since the invasion of Iraq.
Carried out as US voters prepare to go to the polls next week in an election dominated by the war, the research also shows that British voters see George Bush as a greater danger to world peace than either the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, or the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both countries were once cited by the US president as part of an "axis of evil", but it is Mr Bush who now alarms voters in countries with traditionally strong links to the US.

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

Aren't these the same Britons whose *ss we saved in WW2? There's a reason why the British Empire has been shrinking over the last 200+ years.

"because world domination and expanding empires are crowd pleasers."

Dominate or be dominated. You won't be able to say these things when you are a citizen of the United States of Iran.

Gothampc - The US and Brittan made Iran what is it today. You can ask any Iranian about their feelings of prior US "assistance" a real big help. They just love the cool fascist regime we put in place.

LOL the US spreading freedom? We can't even spread it here.

"The US and Brittan made Iran what is it today."

Actually it was Jimmy Carter who made Iran what it is today. Before him, the U.S. had good relations with the Shah of Iran. Then militant Islam took over, took Americans hostage and all Carter did was sit around and watch it happen.

Thanks mejusthavinfun for pointing out that Ike propped up a monarch over there as "client ruler". Now, I personally don't give a rat's azz what the Brits think of my Prez or US foreign policy on the other hand given their government's track record in both "partitioning", e.g. Pakistan/India and nation-building, e.g. Mosul/Baghdad/Basra (now Iraq). Less anyone forget the French took control of Syria & Lebanon as part of the same deal that landed the Crown in a fledgling thrown together Iraq. The same French latter dumped an unwinnable war (Vietnam) into our laps. I've had it up to here with USA-bashing.

Javero - I agree with you, it is very hypocritical of Brittan. That said the US is the world super power. It's 2006 and we have enough power to unilaterally wage a massive war under false pretences and garner global support. These games are getting really tired. Especially as we watch the short-lived prosperity in this country implode.

I'd prefer to hear what the real victims of this global hegemony have to say. There is no good reason we need to be so dependant on foreign oil. There is no reason to outsource labor jobs to slave camps in China and Honduras. The US should lead the world in the right direction, not this greedy, fascist, totalitarian way.

Gotham mentions that we dominate or be dominated. As the cliché goes, “with great power comes great responsibility.” Sure it’s a slippery slope, but shameless profiteering by a handful of crooks is not helping any citizen in this country or anywhere else. I wish we knew how many worldwide terrorist organization the government was funding right now. There are sure are plenty, enough to keep wars and unrest raging for years to come.

George Bush took a sh!t on his very own country after Katrina. I thought that would rally the people here, but it didn’t. I love this country but I don’t want to force any other country in the world to.

Also George Bush is probably the greatest threat to world peace right now. He is also the greatest possibility for world peace. I don’t think he cares either way.

I think if anything bad happens in anyones life blame it on old GWB. Whether it is your dog peeing on the carpet or the Sunday paper not being delivered. Have to have root canal, it is his fault. I guess he masterminded all the terrorists acts before he got in. He is one sly devil isn't he

Whatever will happen when he leaves office?

Roxy, if when it's incorherent babbling (as it was in this thread) you opinion on politics is worthless. GO VOTE.

'George Bush is probably the greatest threat to world peace right now. He is also the greatest possibility for world peace. I don’t think he cares either way'

Thats the reason he was voted as number two, although he deserves number one. I wonder who is number one? Tony Blair?

It's really sad to read your comments in this thread. Some American's are such morons!!!

America's Foreign Policy sucks...

and WHATEVER about the war! - America didn't even exist prior to C. 1700..

Watch Britain rise from the ashes!! HE HE HA HA!!
