Yeah, we (well, at least I) don't feel pressured into having to get along with the administration as it does not govern the land in which we/I live in. Foreigners get a less personalized yet also more objective viewpoint when it comes to politics; except when concerning foreign policy, which arguably effects us (the dark, brooding, barbaric masses of non-Americans worldwide) more than it effects Americans [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wonder why it is, that it was ok to bash Clinton, but it's not ok to Bushwhack?

Actually, I retract the statement I posted above, it was just plain silly.

But, Morgan, here's something that may explain the ill will toward Bush.

I think that people outside this country can see things differently, because they are on the outside looking in and are not blinded by Patriotism or love of country. They are certainly influenced by foreign policy as The Hierophant posted. Mr. Bush is considered by many as the most powerful man on Earth (shudder) and some people outside the US (and many inside, too) do not agree that he is doing a great job. That is bound to happen in any administration.

On the obverse side many Americans "hate" Bill Clinton, but there are many countries whose leaders feel nothing but respect for him and the work he did while he was President.

Don't kid yourself, everyone in the world is involved by what George Bush and America does. There is definitely a Domino Effect going on in the World regarding US Presidential Policy.

That's because we are interested in what goes on in the rest of the world. And we don't have to ask your permission to have an opinion. Not yet anyway!

Well I, for one, would have liked to have seen a "President For Life" clause established during the Clinton administration. He would not have had to force a dictatorship in order to continue as our president. IMO he was the best thing that has happened to this country (leadership-wise) since JFK.

And, Skywalker, your statement is not at all silly...we could eventually be arrested for Bushwhacking and have our rights stripped simply because we don't like him or the way he runs things...it makes us "terrorists" and the war against terrorism in the Homeland has yet to begin.

You guys just wait. W. will turn things around. Clinton, President-for-Life? Shudder at the thought. Most loathesome President? Certainly.
