Answer 1

Somehow, equating the Communists at Progressive.com with the world community just doesn't quite mesh. Plus, that article is over a year old, in case you didn't notice.

Myself, I'm quite happy that Bush doesn't appeal to that particular demographic.

Answer 2

I, unlike so many responders, do not know what Bush's credibility rating among sovereign nations is. I would venture to guess not good. But, anecdotally, shortly after Bush received his appointment for the first term, my wife and I were in the Dominican Republic for vacation. There are a lot of Europeans that vacation there and we have talked to more then a few. I was asked a question typical of the kind I get in a lot of those conversations. It was from an English man and his wife. It was basically, "How could you elect a man like that as president?" He was very curious since it was a topic of discussion by many of his friends back home. I don't think he had much to begin with.

Answer 3

I seriously doubt it. Much of the civilized world is electing leaders who are friends of Bush, i.e. Harper (Canada), Merkel (Germany), Sarkozy (France), Brown (England), Howard (Australia), and so on. Socialist economic policies, similar to what the Democrats want to do today to "restore our credibility with Europe" have not worked in Europe and the voters there are turning to leaders who want to make nice with the U.S. While the U.S. economy has been booming since 2003 under Bush, progressive policies practiced by Europe has plunged Europe into recessions and riots against their liberal leaders. Look at France before Sarko the American! The French voters hated Chirac with a passion even though Chirac cut their work week to four days and put them all on welfare benefits just like the Progressives here want to do with us. Socialized medicine has proved to be a catastrophe everywhere it has been implemented and now healthcare in those nations is being rationed in a manner it was never meant to be. That's why you have people here from all over the world on medical visas to get care they can't get under Hillarycare adopted in their own countries.

I am surprised, however the world community has any credibility with YOU. Look at the mess the U.N. is in. Oil-For-Food, World Bank corruption, Sudan as the lead nation on the UN's Human Rights Council (Sudan practices slavery to this day), bribery and corruption everywhere but the U.S.

Do you really want to be like the rest of the world???

Answer 4

Steelgrave states the U. S. does plenty for some thing else of the international. i wager he did not propose invade and occupy overseas international places without provocation, detain and torture voters, droop habeus corpus, violate Geneva Conventions and rescind global treaties. genuinely, the U. S. does no longer do all that a lot for some thing else of the international. Of the right 20 business countries, the U. S. ranks lifeless very last in p.c. of GNP donated as overseas help. way lower than maximum different countries. besides, we comprise protection force help in our overseas help budget, grossly inflating even that dismal huge style. maximum US overseas help is interior this way of protection force help for the rustic of Israel. regardless of the particular undeniable actuality that I even haven't any particular objection to giving Israel overseas help, which includes it contained in the budget smacks of deceit--similar as no longer which includes Iraq conflict expenditures contained in the federal budget. to respond to the question (at lengthy very last), no, George W. Bush has no credibility with some thing else of the international. Too many individuals do not provide a damn what some thing else of the international may imagine. We experience we are able to act unilaterally, and with impugnity. If we decide even a short succession of leaders like George Bush, it isn't lengthy before we are now no longer #a million contained in the international, and may be overrun for our previous transgressions.

Answer 5

I sense some of these answers stray off topic, so here.

Yes, he has lost credibility in the world.

Before closer to times of 9/11 he was seen as the hero who stood up to the terrorists, and all who live free...
However, as time carried on, people started to question his motives, with scrutiny such as :

"why did you bomb iraq when Osama is from afghanistan"?
" There were no Nuclear weapons there, why stay?"
And many other allegations about an ulterior motive for US economics interest.

And with more recent news with the Iran/Korea, problems other countries allied with the US are wondering why they keep looking for war.

Before the WORLD had USA's back, now most have pulled out of US missions, realizing that maybe, we are supporting them for wrong reasons,ofcourse, with the exception of the english speaking world, Canada, UK, Australia...

But even so, they're supporting mainly from an International level, when talking about sending more troops or aiding a war, a big sense of hesitation comes knocking on the door.
Usually to be slammed on the Americans.

The world sees him as a Wolf masquerading as a sheep.
"We're to help you guys fight for your freedom"
Now seen as " We're here to make America prosper"

Has he lost credibility in the world? Yes. Does that make him a bad Leader? Maybe. Depends on whether your American.

Answer 6

France is trying to gain a stronger relationship with The US, The US was able to bring over half the Mid-East to a peace conference in Anapolis, The British are still standing by us..... But no we have no credibility

Answer 7

Not just the world community...he has lost credibility with most Americans, including my family, who are Republicans.

Answer 8

Before we start discussing whether or not he has lost credibility with the international community, it would be prudent to establish whether or not he had any form of credibility in the first place.

Answer 9

The only people who have lost credibility in the world community are those who oppose Bush. They have been unable to make him change course. Haven't been able to engineer American defeat, and offer no alternative to Bush that the American people will accept. I take it that by "world Community" you mean the internationalist left.

Answer 10

Who really gives a crap what the rest of the "world community" thinks?
