Allies Get Polled

The results are in: America is considered a danger to world peace by her closest allies.

The Guardian newspaper in London has carried out a survey, along with major newspapers in Mexico, Canada, and Israel.

69% of those polled in Britain said that US policies has made the world more dangerous since 2001. This was complemented by 57% polled in Mexico and 62% polled in Canada. The results from those polled in Israel were somewhat different. 36% polled in Israel felt that US policies had made the world more dangerous, while only 30% felt that the world had been made safer.

89% of Mexicans felt that the invasion of Iraq was unjustified. This feeling was also reflected by 73% of Canadians and 71% of Britains. The poll results from Israel were, again, somewhat different with 59% of Israelis in favor of the war in Iraq.

The results of the poll also put George W. Bush in the same league as Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jung-Il, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when it comes to being considered a cause of global anxiety.

Well done George. Not only have you managed to frighten your own citizens into allowing you to undermine the Constitution and set up a secret security apparatus that Stalin would envy, you have managed to put the frighteners into the hearts and minds of your closest allies. With friends like you...who needs enemies?
