Haaretz.com (Israel) : George W. Bush, "The Most Terrifying President"

At Home and Abroad, Bush Has Wrought Devastation

This is from Israel, our closest and most constant ally in the middle east!!!

...As we know, Bush is "born again," and wherever people who have found the old-time religion take their stand, intelligent people run away, as if from fire. Instead of running the world and its inhabitants, as one may expect of the leader of the free world, Bush acts as someone who is reinventing the world on a mission from God.

...The world can revert to a state of chaos - so long as the messenger does not violate his covenant with Divine Providence and the supervisors down below. It may very well be that the warming of the oceans contributed to Katrina, but who is going to tell a shepherd what is good for his flock while it is drowning in a flood?...

The world according to Bush is now more polarized than ever. A new poll that was released last week indicates that a decisive European majority - approximately 72 percent - reject his policies and doesn’t trust him....

Under the leadership of the fastest gun in the West, the United States has proved to the entire world that it has no one to rely upon, and no one to take example from. Even America's own poor do not take precedence. In the prisons of Baghdad and Guantanamo, America's image as the sentinel of human rights has been shattered. And in the graveyards of America, so has its image as a country that offers a good life. And America's reputation has even suffered in Beijing and New Delhi, for even there they don’t envy the morbidity and mortality rates of American babies, as publicized last week by Washington's central bureau of statistics.

And America thinks it has an image problem in the Islamic world...?

America has a problem in its White House.
