The Tape

Admittedly though, the world does not seem as enamored with this president as with presidents past. And maybe it's because the world has changed so much in the 2 years he's been president, he comes across as unintelligent at times...who really knows for certain? Maybe it's more fear than dislike.

Anytime I watch interviews involving Arabs (like if they're doing street interviews), the "response" (be it coerced or real) is almost always the same thing--we like America, we like American people, we do not like George W. Bush. The extremists seem to be a minority, though they apparently have grown over the years. And I could see a war in Iraq adding to those numbers (much like the Gulf War supposedly inflamed Osama).

UT, true, but you have the Saudis who are supposedly raising money in that same vein...and we're trying to get them to play War Games with us again.
