"There is a basic lack of understanding, which is lasting and deep, between the American people and the rest of the world and it goes in both directions. The world no longer understands very well what America is."
FORMER FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER, HUBERT VEDRINE
__________
"The Americans have voted for a militarised Rambo rather than someone who appeals to their reason"
FORMER NIGERIAN FOREIGN MINISTER BOLAJI AKINYEMI
__________

SWEDISH PRIME MINISTER GOERAN PERSSON
__________
"It is a bad day for the environment."
TONY JUNIPER, FRIENDS OF THE EARTH

"We are going to see more extremism come out of the U.S. We are going to see even more isolation where Americans will not bother about the United Nations. To me that is a very sad affair."
KENYAN VICE PRESIDENT MOODY AWORI
__________
"Bush is the most hated man in the region. His mentality is naturally against Islam and Muslims. Kerry would have been better for the plain reason that he is not Bush."
HEAD OF NASSERIST PARTY IN EGYPT DIA EL-DIN DAWOUD
__________
"The temptation for Europe to define itself as 'Not America' will be increased."
TIMOTHY GARTON ASH PROFESSOR OF EUROPEAN STUDIES AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY

"Bush will interpret victory as a validation of his policies. I don't expect a second term to be any more moderate - on the contrary."
RAFAEL BARDAJI, ADVISER TO FORMER SPANISH PRIME MINISTER JOSE MARIA AZNAR
__________
"We have a dangerous killer on the loose with a mandate to mount further wars. He has threatened Syria, Iran, North Korea and Cuba. Many people will feel that his re-election will make the world a more dangerous place."
STOP THE WAR COALITION CONVENOR LINDSAY GERMAN
An incredible group of ignorant losers, I am sorry to have to say it.
Boohoo. Let them cry in their lattes, or in some cases, their shake thanks to the great utopian policies that they are following!
"TONY JUNIPER, FRIENDS OF THE EARTH"
You just know this guy has a LOT of tie-dye in his wardrobe.
"I think that people in the United States still don't understand how much Bush is hated all around the world" SHIN HO-YUN, A 30-YEAR-OLD OFFICE WORKER IN SEOUL
We understand. We just dont care!
Looks like the whos who of the oil for millionaires program.
The Messianic Kingdom is unfolding right now...
Bashing President Bush is bashing us that elected him.
They want to treat and deal with the terror issue as though it's China or the USSR with all the perfunctory bullshit pleasentries, protocols and ceremonial ass kissing to which I hope Dubya continues to tell em' get on board or go to hell!
That's why I never doubted Bush's re-election.
They hated Reagan at least as much.
Man, foreigners must feel worse than Terry McThree-Time-Loser.
If we don't lead then who will. No one in this group could do it. No matter what we do we will be criticized. We are the leader of the free world and those who hate us are the first to come to us when they have a need.
We don't understand it? Hell, it's the reason that we want him where he is! If the Anti-American world hates him then he's doing something right. Huzzah!
FORMER NIGERIAN FOREIGN MINISTER BOLAJI AKINYEMI
Oh, sweet merciful Jesus! Don't tell me we've just gone and lost the all-important Former Nigerian Foreign Minister Bolaji Akinyemi vote -- ?!? :)
offer any one of those cretins a chance to live here, oh wait they probably already do under the umbrella of freedom and safety, f*ck em, call up the firing squad!!!
DISASTER? F' The Mirror. Sod off.
They are the same scumrag that printed hoaxed photos of "British" soldiers urinating on "Iraqi prisoners".
Such propaganda is what got Nick Berg murdered. His blood is on their printing press.
F'em. Totally disgraceful. The editor got canned but the hate continues at the paper.
That must have been one of the "all important" foreign world leaders who privately endorsed Kerry.
Threads like this make me even more confident that I chose the correct candidate.
"The temptation for Europe to define itself as 'Not America' will be increased."
Which means America will continue to emphasize we are "Not Europe."
