Bush 'universally hated', spy novelist says

British spy novelist John Le Carre branded US President George W Bush as America's most "universally hated" leader and urged voters to kick him out of office next month.

The author of global best sellers such as The Spy Who Came In From the Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy launched the stinging attack on the US leader and his war in Iraq in an editorial in the Los Angeles Times.

"Probably no American president in history has been so universally hated abroad as Bush: for his bullying unilateralism, his dismissal of international treaties, his reckless indifference to the aspirations of other nations and cultures," Le Carre wrote in the online article.

He also accused Mr Bush of having "contempt for institutions of world government, and above all for misusing the cause of anti-terrorism in order to unleash an illegal war - and now anarchy - upon Iraq".

1. Here, here.

Too bad most RWers don't care what anyone else in the world thinks. Indeed, they act as if there IS no "rest of the world."

2. I agree, however

considering the US has a population of around 300 million compared to 6 billion, they're going to have to start caring sooner or later. The number of non-Americans on this planet will force that issue.
