Arab Poll: Bush Most Disliked World Leader

A new poll on Thursday underscored deep Arab unhappiness with the United States but said the negative image could be repaired if Washington brokered a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace agreement.

The survey of 3,850 people in six Arab countries rated President George W. Bush as the most disliked world leader, while the United States and Israel were viewed as significantly greater threats than Iran.

Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said the United States could improve its image by brokering a comprehensive Middle East peace agreement.

A smaller number - 33 percent - said this image change could happen if Washington withdrew its troops from Iraq.

The results show the Arab-Israeli conflict "remains the central prism through which people are evaluating the United States", even when the international focus is on the Iraq war and nuclear crisis with Iran, said Shibley Telhami of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.

And the pollster's headline read....

"Today, a survey of the world's leading communists, dictators, and other oppressive leaders, including a survey of the United Nations, shows George Bush to be the least popular world leader..."

Worse than Castro. Worse than Hugo Chavez. Worse than Kim Jung Il. Worse than Ahmanutjob.

I wonder what Germans thought of FDR and Churchill, circa 1944.

Mainly because we've never found an Arab partner truly interested in peace.

The most admired leader was Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Islamic militant group in Lebanon, with 14 percent.

Future U.S. leaders who don't achieve that status are doing something wrong.

With his treatment of the illegal alien problem AND the Administration's prosecution of the Border Guards, I am none too happy with him right now either. If he does not get off his ass and start to fix the above issues, I would not be opposed to his impeachment for violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution.

ROFL!

If you let me use your car whenever I want to, I won't speak bad about you behind your back.
