Aye.. Europe, or more to the Old Europe is really going down the pan (Italy,Britain and Spain are the good nations).
I think Bush is a decent geezer, and the World can feel safe with such a strong determined leader in charge.

The sooner the US gets a different President, the sooner the rest of the planet will stop thinking "you want to be taken seriously and you elected him!!!"

Oh, I don't doubt the competence of the cabinet and people surrounding Bush... I doubt their morality. You have Cheney, a greedy little oil man. You have Rumsfeld, a somewhat pompus corporate type. You have Powell, probably the only decent moral person among them, but obviously a puppet. Some are career politicians who aren't qualified for the positions they hold (Tommy Thompson, Tom Ridge). And then you have the people in the background "advising" the president.... Karl Rove, Paul Wolfiwitz (sp?), George Bush Sr. (not officially, but you know good ole' dad is giving some advice).
I don't doubt that Bush "knows how to get things down", I doubt his ability to understand the world. Bush is not a "well-traveled" man. I don't think he understands how the rest of the world thinks, and I certainly don't believe he possesses the ability to look at things from other points of view. IMO, a good president is someone who understands what people think, how to get people to understand your point of view, and how to manipulate them to get things done. And to Bush Sr's credit, he knew how do that at least. Dubya has shown that he can get somewhat ignorant Americans to believe him... that's about it.
Bush might be qualified enough to be a governor... but he definitely does not even come close to being the kind of guy that should be representing the United States. For the Republican Party, he was just the best guy they had to beat Gore. And let's be honest, Bush didn't win... Gore lost (and no, I'm not talking about Florida)... Gore wasn't a charismatic person.
Even though I think Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer's, and I vehemently disagree with his politics, I think he was qualified enough to be a president. Bush Sr. was also qualified enough.
And that's the purpose of this thread, I wan't to know what non-Americans think about our dear president... primarily pro-War non-Americans because I have a good grasp of what our anti-War, non-American 'Poly members think.

It would be a great idea. Israel could easily track down possible terror attacks miles away, since no decent muslim would want to visit us drunk infidels, only the terrorists would have to cross our lands to get to you.
Naturally we would need some lands from you, and from Pals, but we'd pay moderate rent for it naturally, and we'd need lots of hotels and new infrastructure, so we could hire you guys, and we'd be bringing some serious cash in. I like it.
