US President George W. Bush is more of a threat to world peace than the leaders of North Korea and Iran, and only Osama bin Laden is more feared, a poll of British voters has found.
A majority of voters in Britain, Canada and Mexico, all key American allies, also thought US foreign policy had made the world less safe since 2001, the survey published in The Guardian today showed.
Three-quarters of Britons said Mr Bush presented a great or moderate threat to peace in the world, bested only by the al-Qaeda leader at 87 per cent.
By contrast, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, who recently tested a nuclear bomb, was considered a threat to peace by 69 per cent of voters, compared to 65 per cent for Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Shi'ite militia Hezbollah, and 62 per cent for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
As well, 69 per cent of British voters along with 62 per cent of Canadians and 52 per cent of Mexicans, said US policy had made the world less safe.
Only Israeli voters continued to believe that the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 was justified, by a margin of 59 per cent to 34 per cent.

That's why we call them "Well-Reared" Young Men.
It shows in their America-Hate.
I meant to say that only Israel gets it. The other nations mentioned will eventually get it. Good and hard!
I voted for him twice because he is a threat to world peace. If it comes down to living under Sharia Law or disturbing "world peace" I vote for the latter.
Assinine idiots.

If they had to stand before those very leaders they list, standing alone, all by themselves in those leaders' lands...and then had to wonder which one of them would treat them with any degree of respect, kindness or compassion...they would sing a different tune very quickly.

Why are they wasting time answering polls? Don't Brits have more bending over for Muslims to do?
The Democratic Party leadership promises to return us to serenity and personal focus. 9/11 will become a remote aberration once they protect our homeland, while assuaging those who are unhappy with us. We will again tread a familiar path realigning national interests through foreign policy models defining necessity, proportional response, multi-lateralism, and exit strategy in ways both comforting to potential enemies and morally affirming to ourselves.
The alternative promises the uncertainties and tensions of a generational conflict. We must accept 9/11 presages Islamic jihadists utilizing engineering and physical/biological science degrees to craft catastrophes costing 10,000 to 100,000 of lives. We must believe al Qaida, when Bin Laden and Zawahiri view the Iraq conflict as WW III, and victory providing the initial step to the regional and worldwide Caliphate ensuring their domination. We must believe expatriate Muslim scholars who say the Wahhabi/Salafi philosophy poses extraordinary international hazards by visualizing murder and desolation as both means and end, while disregarding traditional Muslim allegiances to family, tribe and country.
Why would anyone want to endure intellectual or personal discomfort when offered centered tranquility? In el Anbar province Iraqi policemen show up for work everyday, even though terrorists kill comrades on the streets and in their homes. Evidently, embracing tranquility remains generations away from people pursuing an urgent desire for freedom, and displaying extraordinary sacrifices for peace.
Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Waxman, and Boxer are standing at the front of the stage facing their adoring rat crowd.
You're on the dais sitting in a chair behind them.
What do you see?

They thought Churchill was a greater threat to world peace than Hitler, too.
Bloody pommie gits..
