Some parts? Try all parts, every single nation, from Morocco to the Southern Phillipines. You can't find a poll, which shows Bush with a higher approval rating than Bin Laden, in that entire area. Even in nations with government-controlled media, governments that have been our allies for decades. I posted the Pew poll link, to back up my opinion. Do you have any links to back up your opinion? The Anglosphere and Israel are the only areas with pro-Bush sympathies. Even there, opinion in Canada and the UK is markedly less pro-Bush than in the U.S. and Israel (the only two nations, out of 200, whose populations whole-heartedly back Bush). And the combined population of the Anglosphere is less, much less, than the combined population of the Muslim world. The rest of the world has a low opinion of both men. So, when you add it all up, more people on this planet trust Bin Laden to "do the right thing", as the Pew poll phrased it, than trust Bush. Go ahead, try to find some data to refute it. It'll be an educating experience, that search.

" Some parts of the Muslim world does not = a majority of the world. " No Doubt Bruce. But they would certainly like to think so,and would certainly like to think they actually have an influence on the world's direction. But they don't. And they wont. And they never will. Unless they come out off the comma they are in. They are relegated to the backwaters of what most in the world consider a depressed,controlled,backward and non progressive social structure. Their desire to drag others into their nightmarish quagmire only demonstrates their will to inflict their pain on others,as they feel inferior, and are indeed inferior. KC
