Bush has made America a disgrace among civilized people

British believe Bush more dangerous than Kim Jong-il: "America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies, according to an international survey of public opinion published today that reveals just how far the country's reputation has fallen among former supporters since the invasion of Iraq.

Carried out as US voters prepare to go to the polls next week in an election dominated by the war, the research also shows that British voters see George Bush as a greater danger to world peace than either the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, or the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both countries were once cited by the US president as part of an 'axis of evil', but it is Mr Bush who now alarms voters in countries with traditionally strong links to the US."

The day after 911, the headline of the French newspaper Le Monde said "We Are All Americans". Over the last 5 years, Bush, the Republicans, and the Neo-cons have driven America into the ground leaving the world with nothing but disgust at our behaviour, sadness at the demise of the American Way, and fear for their lives in a world made crazy by the former light of the west.
