After 2-3 years of massive character killing of Bush, then its no surprise.... what really is a surprise is how much Bush is blamed for in other countries. Politicians around the world have been using Bush as a scapegoat for their own failed politics - country economy is bad = blame Bush, high oil prices = blame Bush, ethnic/religious problems = blame Bush... I have even heard european politicians blame Bush for the changes in the world climate
Its all about perception - fact is that no single individual on this planet has the power to fuck things up... sure they might have influence, but thats not the same as waking up one morning and then realising hell on earth, which is what some Bush haters on earth think Bush did one morning.
