BUSH IS EVIL

After reading all these posts, its seems fruitless to even argue with eachother. Bush is just plain evil. That's it. He will be remembered in 100 years (if he doesn't destroy the world before then) as a terrible person, like Pinnochet, Stalin, etc. There is no arguing. He is causing misery and heartache to too many people to ignore this fact.

Bush just wants to start a holy war. And the fundamentalist Muslims want to keep him in power so the war can begin.

I don't know about you, but I don't consider "people who write letters to the editor in news magazines" to be the unquestionable purveyors of truth. Even so, there are many people in all parts of the world who DO support what our president has done and is doing, if you choose to read those that don't reflect your point of view.

Poll: World wants Bush out of the White House

Washington - The world wants President George Bush out of the White House, according to a poll released on Wednesday that shows in 30 of 35 countries people preferred Democrat candidate John Kerry.

Kerry was particularly favoured by traditionally strong United States allies and beat Bush on average by more than a two-to-one margin, 46 percent to 20 percent, the survey by GlobeScan, a global research firm, and the University of Maryland, said.

The survey of attitudes around the world contrasts with US polls that have shown the American electorate closely divided and that Bush has been gaining momentum since the Republican convention this month.

Bush launched a US-led invasion of Iraq last year over the objections of many governments, including allies, and the first US pre-emptive war angered many people around the world. Kerry has said he will pursue stronger international alliances if he wins the presidency.

"Only one in five want to see Bush re-elected. Though he is not as well known, Kerry would win handily if the people of the world were to elect the US president," Steven Kull, director of the university's programme on international policy attitudes, said.

The only countries where Bush was preferred in the poll of 34 330 people that was conducted mainly in July and August were the Philippines, Nigeria and Poland. India and Thailand were divided.

Asked how the foreign policy of Bush has affected their feelings toward the United States, a majority or plurality of respondents in 30 countries said it made them feel worse about America, while in three countries more respondents said they felt better.

The survey's margin of error was 2,3 to five percentage points.

Gee, too bad the world doesn't get to vote in our election, isn't it. Not that I put much stock in polls like this anyway.

The secret police remark was a joke, but I guess you didn't get it.

First of all, you never before mentioned that you were referring to the people all over the world that Bush has supposedly "directly or indirectly murdered." You simply compared him to Stalin, who is famous for, among other things, murdering millions of HIS OWN people. The analogy to Bush, therefore, would be to compare the number of Soviet citizens Stalin murdered to the number of American citizens that Bush has murdered.

Second, where did I say that I have no empathy for non-Americans? I SUPPORTED ousting Saddam Hussein, in main part because he is himself a mass murderer who killed hundreds of thousands of his own people (those would be the Iraqis, by the way - note that I am referring to people who are NOT Americans) and tortured, raped, and oppressed millions more (again, Iraqis, who are NOT Americans). I also supported the war that freed the Afghani people from the Taliban (non-Americans again). I would support military action in the Sudan to stop the slaughter of some 2 million Christians (non-Americans) that continues under the nose of the UN today.

Because of Bush, Afghani girls and women can learn to read again, hold jobs, and don't require a male family member to escort them out of their homes. Because of Bush, Afghani men no longer have to fear torture because their beards aren't long enough, and Afghani women no longer have to fear being scourged because the holes in the mesh cloth covering their eyes are too big. Because of Bush, Afghani citizens are again allowed to have televisions, pictures, and artwork in their own homes. Because of Bush, Afghani women are allowed to obtain medical care again.

Because of Bush, millions of Iraqi men no longer have to worry about Hussein and/or his sons abducting, raping, torturing, and/or killing their wives and daughters. Because of Bush, millions of Iraqi citizens no longer have to fear being fed feet-first into industrial plastic shredders or having their limbs chopped off to amuse Saddam's monsters. Because of Bush, Iraqi children are no longer thrown into prison to be tortured, starved, or killed. Because of Bush, Saddam no longer builds multi-billion dollar palaces with Oil for Food money hundreds of feet away from Iraqi citizens who are starving and/or dying of disease.

Millions of Iraqis and Afghanis now have a say in their own fate, and all of it is because of BUSH. Yes, those are the acts of a truly EVIL man.

Well, that is an absurd comment to make. Do you think the rest of the world cares about our domestic policy?

Are you absolutely positive about that? Be careful...>


Despite Bush's supposed "Christian fundamentalism" for which secular liberals love to rake him over the coals, we did NOT invade Iraq due to a hatred of Islam, real or perceived. Osama's attack on America may have been in part due to his hatred of Christianity, but that is nowhere near the entire motivation for 9/11. I'm amazed there are apparently still people who see it in such simplistic, black-and-white terms.

The world is a more interested place than you think.

It's Bush's international policies that is harming world opinion of him.

The fight against terrorists is an international fight.

Bush has harmed this fight against terrorists by alienating many of America's traditional allies.

No, I don't. That was my point. Sorry my sarcasm was not more evident.
