I'm shocked, shocked and shocked the world hates us and our President. In all seriousness, they can go take a flying leap. I relish seeing President Bush is going to be inaugurated today.

If BBC had taken a poll that was favorable to the US, we'd never hear about it

The poll was done by the BBC, about as leftist and anti freedom as you can get in an organization, and the article written by the Guardian, about the same in a newspaper. Given the leftist nature of much of the worlds press, it doesn't surprise me.

The interesting thing is how positively we are viewed in India, a big plus.

Considering the source, I'd like to see a verbatim transcript of the interview.

SCHADENFREUDE!!!!!!!!!

"the poll, commissioned by the BBC World Service"

The British BS Corporation.
Most everything that comes after that name is garbage.
"nuff said.

[marty60]

Well WORLD...keep your bloody hands off of us and we'll leave you alone.

WAAAAA!

The world has slowed it's pace (slightly) toward a one-world Utopia.

WAAAAA!

"George Bush will be sworn in as president of the United States for a second term today in a lavish Washington ceremony, amid mounting international concern that his new administration will make the world a more dangerous place."

January 30, 1933. Hitler sworn in as Chancellor. World worries for it's future.

That President Bush really is like Hitler after all. ;)

You know, it's interesting that these polls are always concerned more about what the rest of the "world" thinks about us, rather than what we think about them. Somebody, please ask me what I think of Europe...do it...please! (with crickets chirping in the background)

[exnavy]

Killing terrorists makes the world MORE dangerous?

[CaptainK]

Break out the old polls regarding Ronald Reagan. Same thing. Too bad, old Europe.

[woofie]

they could consensual with us

[familyop]

"...and the UK" is mentioned after many of the countries its business and political travelers have poisoned against us for decades.

[no more apples]

The AWESOME might of a nation that got really pissed off when some terrorist decided to get our attention SHOULD cause fear. And the Germans and French should quit whining. We're tired of them trying to tell us what to do.

[RasterMaster]

The Euro-peeons should take a few lessons from our PRESIDENT. I guess if we had let the Nazi's have their countries, the world would be a better place after all. They are just pi$$ed we didn't elect another lying rapist or a traitor as our leader. The only thing Euro-weenies stand for is our destruction, which is why their opinions are irrelevant.

[Kolokotronis]

"A poll of 21 countries published yesterday - reflecting opinion in Africa, Latin America, North America, Asia and Europe - showed that a clear majority have grave fears about the next four years."

Good! They aren't going to love us so its better they fear us!
