We all know who the most hated man in the world is. Even his fans would have to concede that George W. Bush is Global Enemy #1.

But suppose we could conduct an international survey to determine the TEN most hated people. I think the results would blow people away.

Imagine, first of all, if Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein didn't even make the top ten. I think the list would consist mostly of members of George Bush's administration - people like Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice. Bill Gates is practically guaranteed a berth, perhaps dragging Steve Embalmed along for the ride.

Sobering thought, isn't it?

Perhaps America should start thinking about why its leaders are the most hated in the world.

Easy. Because the world isn't very smart. In a survey of the EU asking what country is the greatest threat to world peace, Israel was rated higher than Iran and North Korea. If the survey didn't have terrorists on them at all, more reason for America to do what it knows is right, not to succumb to the will of Europe.

Because the world isnt very smart? Or is that just because the world disagrees with you? Typically blind, immature patriotic response, not even pausing to think that the majority of the world could have a reason for their opinions. Try and look outside your white picket fence once in a while, and WAKE UP

Oh of course. A democratic country is far more dangerous than a crazy tyrant with nukes. And patriotic response? I'm not even from America! A Canadian patriotic response would have been to agree. As for why other countries think that way? Simple. Heavily biased media like the BBC.

Crazy tyrant with nukes... hmmm, sounds alot like George Bush to me, seeing as America has worlds biggest nuclear capability, and Bush has started quite a few wars recently hasnt he? And the BBC may be biased, but if anything its bias towards America and Israel... I guess people in the majority of the world do not take everything their leaders tell them as gospel. And to me questioning things a bit more deeply, rather than calling the whole world stupid, is the more intelligent option.

The BBC trumps the Washington Post and Fox News???

So Isreal is a bigger threat to Europe and the rest of the world then North Korea and/or Iran?

It said biggest threat to peace moron, not europe.

A survey in SK said that they think US is a bigger threat to world peace then NK.

Sorry I read wrong but still. The only reason Isreal is a big threat to peace is because the middle east's hostility towards them.

[Saviz]

And why are they hostile?

Dont know, ask one of them.

Jeez, the BBC couldn't be any more boring and middle of the road if it tried. It almost never offers opinion, and it beats the hell out of News services that think "SHUT UP!" is a rational retort to another person's view.

To the bulk of the world the Beeb is niether left nor right and extremely conservative in its presentation. [Not your kind of conservative]

[Saviz]

the 3 greatest news reporting channels are the CBC, BBC, and ABC.. not the american one, austrialia

[Kindred]

Yes, Austalia's ABC has many fine journalists, and many excellent news programs.

[Saviz]

Is that sarcasm? I can't tell anymore when people agree with me online

Never offers an opinion? Like how the reporter for the BBC talked about how she was in tears when she saw Arafat's body being airlifted? Give me a break. The BBC is one of the most anti-Israeli and anti-American channels ever. They give Al-Jazeera competition when it comes to bias. I suggest you go to HonestReporting.com and search BBC, do a bit of reading up. All of you.

So the reporter stated that she was crying, it's still not an opinion.

And I said almost never. do a bit of reading.

In fact when opinions are expressed they are usually by guests from all sides and not the opinion of the British Broadcasting Corporation. I think I've heard the views of nearly every neocon in the whitehouse stated on the beeb at some stage over the last four years.

This conception of Bush makes national sovereignty out as the villain, all the more reason for a world governmental authority. Which is the overall goal.
NWO here we come! Wheeee!
