Well, Strict, according to a poll released this morning and aired on an ABC news show I was just watching, folks around the world consider the US to be a gretaer threat than the *terrorists*... That didn't happen under a guy who you discribe as "a joke across much of the world" but under your guy. And if you'll recall, he had allready pissed of the Europens long before 9/11 with his arrogance and lack of vision or knowledge, or have you forgotten about that?
