1 in 3 say Bush is biggest threat
Patrick Wintour and Ewen MacAskill
President George Bush is seen by a third of Britons as a bigger threat to world safety than Saddam Hussein, according to a new poll conducted by a senior US Republican and due to be broadcast today. But most of those questioned by the polling organisation You.Gov say they remain open minded, and ready to be convinced about the justification for an attack on Iraq. The weighted poll of 3,200 people throughout the country was conducted for Channel 4 by Robert Lunz, a senior Republican strategist, based on the You.Gov sample.
Similar polling has been undertaken by Downing Street as it contemplates how to sell a war on Iraq.
The Channel 4 poll found that a third of the British public have no trust at all in Mr Bush, and many actually fear him. In a straight choice between Mr Bush and President Saddam as to who poses the greater threat to world peace, 32% said Mr Bush and 49% said President Saddam. Almost half see Mr Blair as Mr Bush's lapdog, with the figure even higher among the under-30s.
Almost two-thirds of people said the only reason the US has targeted President Saddam is because he threatens US control of the Middle East - only a quarter feel it is because the Iraqi leader is a threat to world peace. Blame for British casualties in a war with Iraq will be placed with Mr Blair himself, according to 21% of those polled.
Commenting on his findings, Mr Lunz said: "I would suggest that [Mr Blair] ring up the broadcast media and say, 'Keep President Bush, keep Dick Cheney, keep all Americans with these American accents off television', because it's not helping his case."

That 1/3 was probably all Muslims.

or intelligent people perhaps??
-
we need rid of bush...he's too power hungry...and i do agree that he's a threat to us and the rest of the world....
-
George W. Bush is the greatest American president since Ronald Reagan. He will go down in the history books as a hero, having valiantly led this nation in one of its darkest times.
VIVA LA BUSH!!!!!!!
-
Well; since there's nothing britian can do about George Bush being president of a foriegn country, maybe they're wasting their time with the poll, LOL.
-
Or maybe we see him as a possible threat to our security in the future so we must have a pre eminent strike before he can threaten us and the world with his "weapons of mass destruction" Then we can topple his illigitimate leadership and free the people of the USA, and give them a president who will buy our steel, i mean make the world a safer place.

Why are you considering banning me......because I post news articles? Give me a break. Did anyone ever get banned when this board was filled with anti-American posts? Is anyone going to get banned for all the anti Jewish/Israeli posts?
This website is run by Europeans, right? I had heard that Euros often restrict free speech, but this is ridiculous. The funny thing is that alot of people from this message board im me and send me private messages telling me to keep posting these articles.
Oh well, you guys probably wont even acknowledge this post because you know that I am right.

I didn't know it was racist to object to people wanting to kill me because of my religion and nationality? Whatever man.....
How can you be racist against a religion?
-
you're ignoring the fundemental message behind I Bo's comment. You are prejudiced against Muslims, bottom line
And, uh, c walker, you continue to make yourself sound very stupid. Europeans restrict free speech? LOL what a joke, this is coming from the citizen of a country whose leaders asked the media to stop playing shit from Al Jazeera so they can get a different point of view
the same country where the media is a fuckin farce, shut up kid
-

If not wanting Muslims to bomb me because I am American and Christian makes me prejuidiced, then so be it.
LOL, I am still laughing because the board is so shook by the knowledge that I am kicking that they are going to ban me! Censorship rules!!!!!!!

Funny thing is that 2/3 don't think so.
