It does seem that America and the World are so divided. I am not going to say that it is all bush's fault, though. Bush has done much to anger the world at us. With his arrogant spirit, like is shown in his comments like "Bring it on..." (a message to the Iraqi insurgency", and his desire to "spread democracy" to any oil-rich nation. Part of it is the Oil For Food scandal. I think that France was so opposed to us going into Iraq, because we would uncover their involvement in it, and embarass them, which we did. The muslim nations hating us has nothing to do with Bush. They hate us because of the effect our western liberal culture is having on their theocracies. People are begining to think more independently now, and they hate that. And, I think that many other nations envy our freedom and wealth, too.

Bush at 35%[^] why does America hate America? Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker
unless you can tell me the composition of the universe polled. sources tell me only 25% of those polled identified themselves as Republician. If true the poll is simply left-wing masturbation.

Can you name one country that does not do this? That is the job of the goverment. That is like being mad at a company president for trying to make more money for their company. It's natural.

Technically 'you' didn't. A french judges began an inquiry in 2002. This conclusion seems as far-fetched as claiming that the US invaded to cover its involvment in the scam. Both french and americans people are/were prosecuted, but I don't think in either case the scam was the reason behind both foreign policies. Oil probably is, in both cases, but not the scam itself, which is peanuts regarding what is at stake. Anyway, even if France did not oppose, China and Russia would have vetoed any resolution asking for the invasion.

no but you're dodging the question. what was the composition of the polled universe, actually on this or any other poll. it isnt' really important, his approval rating can go to 5% but he is still the president unless the left comes up with an impeachable offense.

when all the major polls come in within 6 or 8 points of each other, you have to assume the real number is in that range. all those polling companies compete with each other to give the most accurate results, and they get big bucks for doing it.

i bet it matters a lot to all the congressional Republicans who would probably rather ride the coattails of a popular president than have to deal with the fact that they spent the last 5 years supporting an unpopular one. Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

European countries have freedom and wealth. Many people in Europe dislike America not just because of Bush but because of the arrogant attitude of some Americans. Some people from the USA who strike up a conversation with the locals seem to assume that everyone else wants to hear about how wonderful America is and how much better it is than the country they are visiting. If you are looking for an analogy you do not go to visit a friend and tell them how much better your house is because they will shortly not be a friend any more.

Draw your own conclusion. My point is that when all the numbers are all the same however they also state that 80% or more of Republicans strongly support Bush then it's obvious they are all doing a creative job (similar to creative accounting) making their own news cycle.
