Consider this:

Polls taken by EKOS Research in Ottawa, Canada found a majority of respondents in Britain, Canada and Mexico – countries considered to be US allies – believe the policies of George W. Bush pose a threat to world peace.

Canadian, British, Mexican and Israeli citizens rank Osama bin Laden as the #1 (out of 5) greatest threat, followed by Kim Jong Il of North Korea, then President Bush, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and finally Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah.

The poll found 69 per cent of Britons, 62 percent of Canadians, 57 per cent of Mexicans and 36 per cent of those polled in Israel believe Mr. Bush's Foreign Policy since 9/11 has made the world less safe.

The polling also found that 89 per cent of those polled in Mexico, 73 per cent in Canada, 71 per cent in Britain and 34 percent of respondents in Israel now believe the U.S. decision to invade Iraq was not justified.

68 per cent of Mexican respondents, 60 per cent of Israelis and 57 per cent of Canadians believe the United States will “intervene militarily” in Iran or North Korea in an effort to block the development of nuclear weapons. British respondents were not asked the question.
