British Believe Bush Is More Dangerous Than Kim Jong-il

US allies think Washington threat to world peace. Only bin Laden feared more in United Kingdom.

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.

The survey has been carried out by the Guardian in Britain and leading newspapers in Israel (Haaretz), Canada (La Presse and Toronto Star) and Mexico (Reforma), using professional local opinion polling in each country.

It exposes high levels of distrust. In Britain, 69% of those questioned say they believe US policy has made the world less safe since 2001, with only 7% thinking action in Iraq and Afghanistan has increased global security.

The finding is mirrored in America's immediate northern and southern neighbours, Canada and Mexico, with 62% of Canadians and 57% of Mexicans saying the world has become more dangerous because of US policy.

Even in Israel, which has long looked to America to guarantee national security, support for the US has slipped.

Only one in four Israeli voters say that Mr Bush has made the world safer, outweighed by the number who think he has added to the risk of international conflict, 36% to 25%. A further 30% say that at best he has made no difference.

1. I'd say that most of the world probably does.

2. NO KIDDING

Actually, Bin Laden is only a comic interloper compared to the vast, murderous organization known as the republican party. I was surprised he is still viewed as a threat with the OVERWHELMING DESTRUCTION that Bush and his criminal republican minions have instigated and perpetrated to the innocent face of humanity. I would submit that the list be changed to the following:

1. Bush
2. Rumsfeld
3. Cheney
4. Rove
5. Limbaugh

...and THEN you can start with the murderous regimes around the world, interpersed with the Hannity's and the Coulter's and the O'Reilly's and the other republican scumbags.

The bottom line is that the criminal republican PARTY is the ACTUAL CULPRIT that allows these parsites to flourish and grow in the first place, and we need to start redirecting our efforts to actually criminalizing the republican party through RICO statutes, right after we take over Congress (following the 100% withdrawal of all troops from Iraq). It is not just a matter of impeaching, indicting, and incarcerating all republican criminals, we HAVE to remove the STRUCTURE which allows them to permeate in the first place!
