Now one thing I don't like about Bush is his standing in the international community. I'm not sure how much of the attitude toward Bush is disingeneous - how much of it is anti-US and not just anti-Bush. I'd be interested in finding out.

I think the world has always felt american's are arrogant and agressive - just like australians are a bit slow & followers LOL - every country has its 'cliche' - but i've never heard anyone saying so many hateful things about america until the last couple of years.
there is a core of american's who still believe bush was right to start a war against the UN's & support him unconditionally, and because of this, the international population seems to have developed an anti-american attitude, because not enough american's speak out against his actions publicly (or at least in media that is broadcast internationally).
I find that I have a much more positive view of american's than my friends do, and I think its because of this board & the conversations that take place here between representatives of all countries.
I know that America is made up of a few Mike's, a few PD's, and a lot of Colin's ... but a lot of the world thinks all american's are like Mike ... reinforced since 9/11.
