Britons wary of Bush more than Kim Jong-il: poll
Britons wary of Bush more than Kim Jong-il: poll
Nov 3, 2006 — LONDON (Reuters) - The United States is seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbors and allies, with Britons saying President George W. Bush poses a greater danger than North Korea's Kim Jong-il, a survey found on Friday.

A majority of people quizzed in three out of four countries polled also rejected the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

The findings came just days before the U.S. mid-term congressional elections, with a growing number of U.S. voters wanting their troops in Iraq to be brought home.

Britain's Guardian newspaper said it carried out the survey along with Israel's Haaretz, La Presse and Toronto Star in Canada and Mexico's Reforma.

In Britain, which alongside Israel is traditionally a close Washington ally, 69 percent of those questioned said they felt U.S. policy had made the world less safe since 2001.

1. Why not? Bush has hundreds of nuclear missiles ready to launch
Li'l Kim has none.

3. the one with the biggest guns and smallest brain.
and that would not be a korean.

OK, NK has the largest standing army, after China's. our's is the most technology-driven, but the civilian leadership is as insane as the country's.
With those facts, who is the scariest?
