More than half of people surveyed in a BBC World Service poll say the re-election of George W Bush has made the world more dangerous. Only three countries — India, Poland and the Philippines — out of 21 polled believed the world was now safer. The survey found that 47% now viewed US influence in the world as largely negative and such unfavorable feelings extended towards Americans as a whole. None of the countries polled supported contributing their troops to Iraq. On average across all countries, 58% of people — and 16 out of 21 countries polled — said they believed Dubya's re-election to the White House made the world more dangerous. Most negative feelings were found in Western European, Latin American and Muslim countries. They include traditional US allies such as Germany, France, Britain and Italy as well as neighbors Canada and Mexico. Looks like King George is trying to rule the world instead of help run a country like he was elected to do. His sheer stupidity is not only making the world more dangerous, it is making the world turn against us. With statistics like this, I wonder how the Neocons still fail to see the light. Then again, who needs world surveys to prove a point when you can just listen to the Religious extremist voices in your head?

He has plenty of people on the payroll to think for him.
For anyone interested in 9/11, the war in Iraq, etc., check out this website: http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11timeline6...
Its a timeline of events surrounding 9/11 from the 70's to the present. Each entry is referenced by actual articles in the main stream news media. No theories just facts. Excellent reading.

I say yes. His incompetency of bad decision-making and misjudgment has made things a lot worse in this post-9/11 world. Take for example this illegal war in Iraq. Did it get rid of Saddam? Yes, but the occupation of Iraq is causing a very serious problem of elevating the already high risk of terrorism here at home and around the world. Terror threats are abound to pop up at anytime. We all can be put into extremely serious jeopardy because of him! His foolish and badly-conceived policies such as the one I just described have made enemies of us in the international community. He is too incompetent to be our president! Not to mention we are already the laughing stock of the world because of him! And I have to say Bush IS THE WORST president in recent memory! Enough said.

The president's black and white thinking scares me. He says the terrorists are "evil" and that's it. Well that's nice and simple. How did they get that way? They hate our freedoms? Why? What's wrong with trial by jury, no secret police and 500 satellite channels of TV? Everybody else in the world likes it just fine and would lie cheat and steal to come to America. Where do these guys get off?
Do you think this question has crossed the presidents mind? I think it is important.

Anyone who believes they have God's number should be in straight jacket, not the white house. Partisan politics aside, anyone who actually believes a word that comes out of this psuedo-emperor is dillusional. I swear the founding fathers of this country are shaking their heads right now in sheer embarrassment. Besides, if the likes of Pat Robertson and other christian-facists endorse you, then you are without a doubt Satan's little helper

what a loaded question. You Stated bush's inability to reason/think. and you wonder why there are such hostilities between the left and the right. Why didn't you jut go full throttle and state, "because Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are making all the decisions for the mindless, C average, low IQ bush?". And to answer the question, the world has been a dangerous place for like EVER, I care about home, and we are SAFER.

I think it's more of a REFUSAL to think rather than an INABILITY to do so. He let's his cabinet make all the decisions for him rather than making them himselves. The PNAC planned Iraq in 1999. None of Bush's "ideas" are his own. Most have been stolen or appropriated from right-wing or fundamentalist groups.

Just another left wing ploy. Another way of saying that the world is worse (Bush can't think) because of Bush. Old GW is responsible for everything negative in this world because that's what you left wingers say? If you take the BS out of this question, you would say " Is the world a more dangerous place because of the attacks perpetrated on the western nations by the Islamic Fascists and is that one reason we are in Iraq?"

Yes. It is very dangerous and limiting to only think in terms of black and white. There are also shades of gray. Very few things are completely right or wrong. There is a middle ground and he has refused to compromise on anything.

Absolutely Dr.. Feelgood. I have just been having some fun showing some of his supporters how thinking in the abstract can sometimes be like looking in a mirror. ;-)
