Poll: Britons warier of Bush than Kim Jong Il
Neighbors, allies see president as more dangerous than N. Korean leader

Reuters - Updated: 19 minutes ago

LONDON - The United States is seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbors and allies, with Britons saying President Bush poses a greater danger than North Korea’s Kim Jong Il, a survey found Friday.

A majority of people quizzed in three out of four countries polled also rejected the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

In Britain, which alongside Israel is traditionally a close Washington ally, 69 percent of those questioned said they felt U.S. policy had made the world less safe since 2001.

A majority of Canadians and Mexicans agreed, with 62 percent of those polled in Canada and 57 percent in Mexico saying their neighbor’s policy had made the world more dangerous.

1. 69 percent of those questioned said they felt U.S. policy had made the world less safe since 2001.
The only part of this that surprises me is that it was only 69%! Bush has made the world MUCH more dangerous!

And, while all of the people mentioned are a menace, Bush is more powerful worldwide at present than Kim Jong Il. And he's also the one with whom our government are forcing us into a 'special relationship' (ugh!) Tony Blair may be the first person since Benedict Arnold to try to hand his country over to Mad King George.
