so, i take it you're not a fan of the president!:yh_silly

my only comment on your first post would be that the rest of the world hating the U.S. is nothing new. the continental intelligensia have always loathed us. ask the muslims in indonesia what they think of us. they'll say they still hate us while we give them food and medicine they would die without after the tsunami.

the japanese absolutely despise americans, while emulating the american way of life from the hilt to the garters. my cousin worked in japan for decades as an interpreter, and he said the disdain and outright hatred expressed towards him was palpable, and routine.



no, not all people in all countries hate america/americans. many recognize that we are without peer in spreading our wealth charitably around the globe, that we give back to the world incredible technology and innovation, and that our doors, for the most part, are wide open for all who wish to come, and boy do people want to come here. i wonder why.

Every country's leadership is going to do and promote policies that they feel are in the best interest of their country, and that, will piss off a lot of people elswhere. What's new?

My feedback....This will sound so arrogant, but here goes anyway.



It amuses and amazes me to see people pick one person/issue to pin problems on. If someone else were president, would the world suddenly love us? Would all of our issues suddenly be resolved?



I don't agree with everything GW does, but I won't deny he makes some good decisions, too.



Mostly, GW does not portray my face to the rest of the world; I get to do that. If other countries can't accept that we have government and people (just like them), then it's simply not my problem.

/dusting off my hands/

I believe in George Bush, I like him very much. People are too much on the ban wagon these days tearing every-one down? Freedom of Speech was the beginning of what is now a Nation of complainers and grippers. Who has the right answer? Where is that person? I give the guy credit staying in office, in this crazy world!

We don't hate Americans. We don't like your foreign policies and I don't like or trust G.W. period

George W. Bush as president is the biggest embarassment america could ever have. He is a fool and has made other countries hate americans. He is the face that represents our country and when he is seen as a jackass to other countries it makes americans look like jackasses too. Americans do not want this war, this war is about Bush and Cheney and Oil. From what I have been told by people that live in other countries Americans are so strongly disliked because of this war, but we did not choose this war. Bush, Cheney and a bunch of oil men did.

Hey you elected him. We can't be too smug we've got Tony Blair and given the tossers opposing him there is every possibility he'll get re-elected. Maybe the eight year rule is one we should adopt. Less Maggie what bliss would that have been and even less of TB

Will the RT HON Tony be re-elected. I doubt it

Hairygarden you really shouldn't make blanket statements like that.



I am Canadian and I do not hate George Bush or Americans.

Problem is the opposition parties are either completely ineffectual or people are so convinced there is no point voting for them because they won't get a majority that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I think turn out at the next election will be very low. I hope Robin Cook decides to stand as leader, it would be interesting to see how he would get on. Maybe a ten year rule rather than eight since elections are meant to be every five years.

The older I get the closer together the elections get. I'm surprised they have time to get started on anything once they are elected, let alone complete what they started.

You are a young person who has no respect for your President, that is not American. I don't care if Whoopi Goldberg was elected, the leader deserves respect? Other countries i don't know if they hate us, you just can't get them to go home after they visit? The jack-asses we have are the people who don't know what the hell is going on to begin with? I don't even know. You might be correct, the World Trade Buildings we didn't really need them anymore...i never thought of that?

There is nothing wrong with a man in tights, i mean it...A man with a Bra on is the best. I have asked my drivers, if i paid you a $100.00 would you wear a bra all day, they say yes...over the clothes of course... :wah:
