GEORGE BUSH, THE WORLD'S LAUGHINGSTOCK

elmat,

The lunatic Bush has already lost in the court of world opinion. He's a laughingstock, though a dangerous one.

Even loyal and dependably Republican publications like the Chicago Tribune are now viciously attacking the worst President in American history:

National hysteria

The fact is that national hysteria does not translate well. Americans not only are afraid but they are isolated in their fear, with a few scattered sympathizers, like Albania and Uzbekistan, arrayed against the overwhelming opinion of a world that thinks we have gone collectively nuts.

Most commentators, noting the macho strutting of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the president's insistence that the world is either for us or against us, have blamed the Iraq policy more on testosterone than terror, with an unhealthy dash of hyper-religious certainty mixed in. But Bush often comes across as truly frightened, convinced of threats that the rest of the world just doesn't see.
