    Bush more dangerous to world peace than Kim Jong-Il, Ahmadinejad

    Bush more dangerous to world peace than Kim Jong-Il, Ahmadinejad: poll

    Friday November 3, 07:13 AM

    LONDON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush presents more of a threat to world peace than the leaders of North Korea and Iran, and only Osama bin Laden is more feared, according to a poll of British voters published in The Guardian.A majority of voters in Britain, Canada and Mexico, all key American allies, also think that the United States' foreign policy has made the world less safe since 2001, the survey showed.
    Three-quarters of Britons said that George W. Bush presented a great or moderate threat to peace in the world, bested only by the Al-Qaeda leader at 87 percent.
    By contrast, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, who recently tested a nuclear bomb, was considered a threat to peace by 69 percent of voters, compared to 65 percent for Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Shiite militia Hezbollah, and 62 percent for firebrand Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
    In addition, 69 percent of British voters said that US policy had made the world less safe, along with 62 percent of Canadians and 52 percent of Mexicans. About 36 percent of Israelis gave the same response, a plurality.
    Only Israeli voters continue to believe that the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 was justified, by a margin of 59 percent to 34 percent. At the same time, 89 percent of Mexicans, 73 percent of Canadians and 71 percent of Britons now think the war was unjustified.
    The poll was conducted by ICM, which interviewed 1,010 people in Britain. Other local polling firms surveyed 1,007 people in Canada, 1,078 in Israel and 1,010 in Mexico.

    Good to see that the UK & Canada are not full of fuckwits like the US is.

    Bush is rocking the boat and we are all on it. He is the kind of histerical passenger who would scream "we are all going to die", failing to understand he is the one rocking the boat and putting everyone in danger. Of course everyone is trying to be the appeaser because we all know he is the only and real terrorist in this little game.

    must be only ignorant folks have the time to answer the phone and respond to surveys. interesting to note that they did not interview a cross section of the world and only picked 4 countries. i find it hard to believe that folks in isreal and mex. voted this way. hell, the mex. folks should find GW a friend as he wants to let'em all in with a free pass! and what the hell does canada care about all this? when was the last time anything meaningful was a function of the canadians?

    The Canadians tend to mind their own business and don't start any crusades. Maybe that's why noone wants to 'destroy' them?

    I don't trust electronic voting machines that have no paper trail. I think the chances of fraud are greater.

    Another grim milestone

    At he current rate the US military death toll will surpass that of the 1.5 year long Mexican War (13283) in another 10 or 12 years or so...

    I hope you realise it - but if you don't, I'll say it now: it's a fake.

    The only time liberal democrats will scream election fraud is when they are on the losing end of the election. Was not one peep out of them during this past election even though they had mobilized hundreds of lawyers (ambulance chasers) at the ready if it became apparent that they would be losing.

    Here is a small excerpt from Ahmadinejad's letter to the American people on November 29th, 2006.

    It's too long to cut and past so clikc the link below to read the full text, if you choose to.

    Updated: 12:46 p.m. PT Nov 29, 2006
    function UpdateTimeStamp(pdt) { var n = document.getElementById("udtD"); if(pdt != '' && n && window.DateTime) { var dt = new DateTime(); pdt = dt.T2D(pdt); if(dt.GetTZ(pdt)) {n.innerHTML = dt.D2S(pdt,((''.toLowerCase()=='false')?false:true ));} } } UpdateTimeStamp('633004300087900000');

    UNITED NATIONS - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a letter to the American people on Wednesday, accused their government of “coercion, force and injustice” and urged the United States to pull out of Iraq.

    Ahmadinejad’s five-page letter also called on Washington to recognize a Palestinian state and cautioned the Democratic Party that, after gaining control of the U.S. Congress, they would be “held to account by the people and by history.”
    His letter in entirety: Iran leader writes letter to Americans - Mideast/N. Africa - MSNBC.com
