O The Guardian, publicou uma pesquisa com dados curiosos:
Sobre quem consideram os líderes mais perigosos, os ingleses manifestam uma perda de credibilidade em relação aos EU e especificamente a Bush. 75%, consideram que o presidente George W. Bush é mais perigoso que o líder norte-coreano Kim Jong-il (69%), e que Mahmud Ahmadineyad (62%). Mais temido que ele, só mesmo Osama Bin Laden (87%).
Interessante é o facto de serem os mais velhos, os mais hostis às políticas de Bush, nomeadamente à invasão do Iraque. Os mais críticos estão entre os 35 e 65 anos, sendo que 65% consideram que o mundo está menos seguro desde 2001.
Mas diz mais:
The survey has been carried out by the Guardian in Britain and leading newspapers in Israel (Haaretz), Canada (La Presse and Toronto Star) and Mexico (Reforma), using professional local opinion polling in each country.
It exposes high levels of distrust. In Britain, 69% of those questioned say they believe US policy has made the world less safe since 2001, with only 7% thinking action in Iraq and Afghanistan has increased global security.
The finding is mirrored in America's immediate northern and southern neighbours, Canada and Mexico, with 62% of Canadians and 57% of Mexicans saying the world has become more dangerous because of US policy.
Even in Israel, which has long looked to America to guarantee national security, support for the US has slipped.
Only one in four Israeli voters say that Mr Bush has made the world safer, outweighed by the number who think he has added to the risk of international conflict, 36% to 25%. A further 30% say that at best he has made no difference.
Voters in three of the four countries surveyed also overwhelmingly reject the decision to invade Iraq, with only Israeli voters in favour, 59% to 34% against.

In Britain 71% of voters now say the invasion was unjustified, a view shared by 89% of Mexicans and 73% of Canadians. Canada is a Nato member whose troops are in action in Afghanistan. Neither do voters think America has helped advance democracy in developing countries, one of the justifications for deposing Saddam Hussein. Only 11% of Britons and 28% of Israelis think that has happened.

...que ingratidão! Bush, além de grande estadista, é um grande defensor da cultura e valores das democracias ocidentais! Não fosse ele e o mundo seria um lugar muito mais inseguro, pejado de terroristas e violência..
