The US President, George Bush, is encountering growing international hostility to his campaign for a second term in the White House.
A remarkable collaborative polling exercise, undertaken by leading newspapers in 10 countries across the globe, has highlighted strong opposition to the Bush re-election campaign.
While the findings have no direct impact on the US election - the poll excludes the Americans whose vote really counts - they show the Bush Administration is struggling to secure popular support for its policies outside American borders.
The hostility is directed not only at the White House: the image of the US itself appears to have suffered collateral damage. This is despite the fact that most of those polled believe in the US alliance and declare they are not anti-American.

Bush gets it!
I dont care what the world thinks. They stand by in places like Bosnia, Sudan, Iraq...........whatever
When they want to do what in their hearts they know is right....then I will listen...and no wonder the world wants Bush out. He has balls and did what the world community said they would but yet couldn't.
There are exceptions though....UK, Britian, SK, Japan, etc....

- The rest of the world hates the US, so why should we care about what they think?

No IBM,
People are mad at him because he breaks international Law and no-one feels safe with him at the helm... But i know you guys wont hear a word against him...
And it states in the article (if you'd bothered to read it) that it wont have any effect on the election, its just an interesting point.
Oh and the majority of your people didnt vote for him remember...

Actually, we don't care because the whole world does not care what others think which presidents, prime ministers, dictators are in power in their own countries, and if you try to tell them they politely, and sometimess not so politely, tell you to mind your own business....
Guess what? we have the right to do the same thing.
And the only country you keep bashing is the US and the US administration, and I am really sick and tired of it...you keep ignoring the fact that there are countries worse than the US which are part of the UN and which are as big, or almost as big in influence in the world as the US.
