Anyone honestly doubt that world leaders want Bush gone?

I don't. Bite me, Powell. Then bite the world.

Europe Eyes Kerry as Hope for Better Ties with U.S.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Being more popular in Europe than George W. Bush is scarcely the hardest task facing his presidential challengers but John Kerry is off to a particularly good start among Europeans anxious to repair trans-Atlantic ties.

Don't expect the "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" so loudly derided by Bush's Republican allies over the Iraq war to endorse the Democratic frontrunner in public -- French, German and other EU leaders know they may well face four more years trying to get along with a Bush who can seem indifferent to their concerns.

But the French-speaking Kerry, scion of a diplomatic family with a wife raised in Portuguese Africa and a well-connected clan of French cousins, has already struck a chord in Europe by criticizing Bush's "erratic unilateralism."

"If Kerry wins, the more he conquers America's indifference toward Europe and the more he expects of us, the better it will be for transatlantic relations," former German President Richard von Weizsaecker said in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper Sunday.

"He wants to consult America's valuable allies, rather than frightening them off," he wrote. "He is committed to protecting the environment and wants cooperation in the United Nations."

Some analysts see efforts by the Bush administration to draw the sting of Kerry's criticisms by trying to improve their own strained relations with Europeans who opposed the Iraq war.

Kerry has accused the Bush team -- "intoxicated with the pre-eminence of American power" -- of abandoning "belief in collective security, respect for international institutions and international law, multilateral engagement and the use of force not as a first option but truly as a last resort."

Putin knows Smirk is a complete idiot and is easily manipulated (looked into his eyes and saw his soul). Ditto for China's leadership.

Our traditional allies I'm sure want him gone as does most of the rest of the world.

Bush lied to justify Iraq war, Canada right to stay out: poll

Ottawa — Canadians overwhelmingly believe President George W. Bush lied to justify the Iraq war and their own government was wise to stay out of the conflict, a new poll suggests.

Two-thirds (67 per cent) of adult Canadians said they agreed with the statement that Mr. Bush "knowingly lied to the world to justify his war with Iraq" a year ago, The Globe and Mail-CTV News poll says.

Moreover, almost three-quarters (74 per cent) of the poll respondents said the federal government made the right decision by not joining the U.S.-led coalition that invaded Iraq, the polling data show.

(take note of the poll on the right side of the article, gotta love the results!)

and those who supported the war don't want to be Aznarred.
