President Bush sets off for a �very quick� trip through Europe tomorrow. Ahead of his departure, the Financial Times reports that a new poll indicates Europeans identify the U.S. as the greatest threat to global stability (36 percent). Iran and China come in second and third.

2. "America Against the World" by Andrew Kohut

If you want graphs, charts, AND statistics about how the rest of the world views America....read his book. (In short, everyone seems to hate us....they especially hate GWB. And it is not about their jealousy against the US..., it is more about our STUPIDITY.)

Kohut is director of the Pew Research Center and was interviewed on Book TV on Sunday. It was an eye-opening interview.

The information was compiled from 93,000 interviews. (Yes, 93,000 citizens of the WORLD were interviewed!) :wow: :wow: :wow:

6. He's on his own with his Chimp-lovin

Yanno, we're a country that wants to like the POTUS. There's a big JFK memorial in Birmingham, and Bill Clinton was able to fill arenas when he'd come over to make a speech. Hell, even when the Reagans and Poppy came over. I'm sure there were protests, but defintely not the size that turn out for Shrub.
