Another Bush Legacy: Majorities in 19 of 21 Large Countries View US Unfavorably
Well, Bush has ruined that also. Bush and his cronies took US global relations and standing into the toilet.
According to Reuters: "The United States is viewed favorably by the majority in only two of 21 other countries with large economies, according to a survey released on Sunday, and it draws the harshest criticism for its foreign policy.
"...India and Poland, along with the United States itself, were the only countries with majorities giving America a favorable rating.
"The nations with the strongest unfavorable views overall of the United States were Russia and Turkey, followed by Argentina, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
"Ipsos polled people [for Reuters] in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States.
"The 22 countries make up 75 percent of the world's gross domestic product, Ipsos said.
"Only the United States and India had majorities giving America favorable ratings on whether it contributes to international peace and cooperation. The United States received the least favorable views from Argentina, Turkey, Mexico, Russia and Brazil.
"The nations surveyed named respect for human rights as the most important factor for a nation to earn respect, followed by respect for its citizens' rights and contributing to international peace and cooperation.
" 'The big question looking forward will be, will the Obama administration be able to improve the United States, especially on those three attributes -- on respecting human rights, respecting citizen rights, and peace and cooperation,' said Clifford Young, a spokesman for Ipsos."
The delusional, unqualified, deliberately incompetent, damaging, warmongering worst president ever now leaving office, who some Americans voted for because they could have a beer with him, has practically destroyed this country's standing in the world...in just eight years.
What a legacy!
