Bono - haha.

If they call him a world leader they should have Mick Jagger or Bob Dylan on the list too.

Or at least, Bob Geldof.

Quote:

“Politicians fare less well than activists in the rankings because they are in the business of trying to be all things to all people, whereas humanitarians can champion one noble cause with far less compromise thrust upon them,” says Craig Worden, Vice President of Public Affairs at Angus Reid Strategies. “Regardless, President Bush’s poor showing is noteworthy because he is ranked similarly to the very leaders that he has sought out international assistance to oppose.”

Better check my profile Phoenix girl. Want to compare travel to other countries now. I've lived in Europe for nine years not mention a few other places. I'll let your worry about world opinion because I don't. The world has hated the US for years.
Hey Slim, 🙂.

Yeah, I have no idea why some people hate us US folks for basically no reason. Don't worry, the survey pools are far to small to hold any real relavence.

Not liking Bush and his politics doesn't equal "hating you US folks". In fact, most Americans I know don't like him any more than I do.

People think Bush is a bad leader therefore they hate all Americans? Could you explain just how you jumped to that conclusion?

I think it's your government's foreign policies present and past that are deeply unpopular with the larger international community.
