President Bush

[Ldel1969]

Does the rest of the world dislike Pres. Bush as much as we do here in the United States?

Interesting what you say jno about the arab ports deal. I completely agree with you BUT it shows how effective the Bush Doctrine has become as the republican dissenters and the Democrats are using it to block the deal.

Thanks jno.

I'm fairly new to AB and wonder if people use a popular thread to air other feelings? I'd understand why this would happen as a 30-line response to a 3-line question makes me want to respond to some of the points in the thread rather than the original question but without a chair to keep us on track things tend to ramble of into predetermined points of view.

unless the questioner themselves attempts to chair it - no disrespect to you Ldel, I am talking in general about long threads I've been involved in, that this rarely happens

This question intrigued me greatly and would be interested to hear what people think. 36% of the US "like" George W Bush. Can you think of any country in "the rest of the world" where the percentage might be higher?

If everyone in "the rest of the world" was asked what percent would admit to "liking" GWB?

Or is the question about the scale of dislike ie the strength of the hatred?

Or have I got AB wrong? is this about writing what we want, or providing Answers to the Bank of questions we're provided with?

keep it interesting.

it varies, bongerman - people who post questions get an email whenever an answer arrives, so they aren't always too happy if the responses go off-topic a bit and they're deluged with emails. But aside from some fairly generalised political statements, this thread has stayed reasonably close to Ldel's original question. Some threads, especially in the News section, can descend quite quickly into rants.
