Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry says he has heard "from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world who don't appreciate the Bush administration approach and would love to see a change in the leadership of the United States.''
CNN's Richard Quest, who recently returned from a tour of the U.S., said: "There are vast numbers of people, especially in Europe, that are looking at the United States' population and cannot understand how they want to re-elect George W. Bush. It is a simple fact.''
A Bush campaign official once said Kerry "looks French." Apparently, the French were impressed. They gave Kerry a 59-point lead. Only 5 percent of the French voted for Bush.
What about the Bush administration's closest ally, Britain? Not even close. The British favored Kerry by over 30 points.
In Asia, Kerry carried China, Japan and Indonesia. Only the Philippines, a former American colony fighting its own Muslim insurrection, went for Bush. In India and Thailand, the race was close. Swing countries?
The overwhelming hostility to President Bush in the world does have consequences for those "foreign leaders'' Kerry was talking about.
"Look at the damage to those politicians who have been associated with Bush," Quest said.
"Aznar in Spain, to Berlusconi in Italy, to John Howard, now running neck-and-neck in his own re-election in Australia with an economy that's booming. He should be walking in.
"And now look at Tony Blair. Every leader that has stood side-by-side with George Bush is feeling the electorate's wrath.''
Blair's Labour government faces re-election, possibly as early as next spring.
His people are reported to have informed the White House that Blair needs to keep his distance from Bush so as not to endanger his own survival.

Now before you say it doesn't matter what the world thinks, who the hell do you think is going to help in the massive rebuilding project that needs attending to in Iraq? Also take a look at the results from the quick vote halfway down the page. 17701 votes and it's 72% Kerry. Where the hell are we getting our poll numbers from and what conspiracy are they all involved in?
