gw(ar)b, has there ever been a more globally hated world leader?
With relative adjustments for population growth since 1943, of course.

1. Idi Amin. Most leaders are just hated in their own country. Takes a
LOT of imcompetency to get hated by so many. Maybe we can add Hitler and Ghangus Khan to the list.

2. Yeah, Hitler was not on everyone's party list. Bush still has a long...
ways to go before reaching Hitler's level of destruction, but he, Bush, is working on it.

3. Well, I don't know how the rest of the world leaders...
...are regarded--and, except for the small handful that always seem to get quoted, I don't know how they feel about President Bush. (One would really have to survey them equally, with the same questions, to get any type of accurate results, or a consensus.)

However, I think it's tremendously important for some of the posters here to believe he is 'hated'; everyone likes to have their feelings validated...:hi:

My feelings are validated only because of validated measures of the dislike and hate for Bush.

The man is a pariah.

Perhaps you don't care enough about America to realize the shame and destruction this man has created in your country. You are obviously oblivious for whatever reason.

Sorry, I do not usually tee off like this, but this hit a nerve.

Don't assume we are ignorant. Nice TRY!!!

6. Huh? There are polls that indicate how much Bush is disliked
internationally. The saddest thing is that now that Bush has been reelected the world's opinion of Americans as a whole has declined. I take no joy and feel no "vindication" in reading this. It makes me incredibly sad.
