Bush has already done a lot of good things to US and to the world.  If he controls Mafia and terrorist activities in US definitely he can be remembered by Americans for ever.  Surely next President's actions will make Mr. Bush as the better one.  Sure his party will win back power in this election.

I'm an Aussie and I don't have a low opinion of Americans. \nI don't think Americans are any dumber or smarter than Poms or other Aussies.\nI do have a low opinion of Bush, but I know he does not represent all Americans, just the ones who like him. From what I've read on the yahoo message boards not many Americans like Bush either.\n(To all those who chose to vote this week, well done!)\nI don't think America is any better than Australia, nor any worse.\nBut of course I think Australia is the best place to live.

where to start? could it be because 90% of all americans do not have a Passport- - so they are all well cultured then. Could it be because America is the ONLY place where the Terminator could become a politician. Or could it be because your powers are mixed leading to an unrepresentative state. (Montesquieu)\n\nBasically - the people of America voted for Bush. and now look what has happened. all for oil - you do realise that dont you. The USA needs to be bigger and better than everyone. whether we are talking big macs or WMDs.\n\nBush can spend billions killing people on a daily basis in Iraq, but when katrina hit, the fool didnt know where to look. And Blair is just as bad. Nuff said.\n\noh yeah one more point - Guatanamo Bay.

I'm going to guess the 51% of people who voted for Bush.  No, that number is probably smaller because most people just don't care.

That is true!!!! Bush cares more about Americans and protecting us, no matter how hard the liberal media and democrats tries to discredit him!!!

I hope the question "R most Americans really so so DUMB" was a rhetorical one. If you really want an answer, look at who we voted in as President.... TWICE! There is your answer my friend. I only wish I could say otherwise.

America is at one of it's lowest in popularity (next maybe to that maid with open legs of a country supposedly governed by blair), you'd have to do a lot to improve on the Public opinion of your country in the eyes of the world as well as the Americans themselves.\nAlso, just stop the bush from putting his foot in the mouth everytime he open it.\nst

I support our President, whether I voted for him or not.  \n\nI wish people would keep in mind that you don't have to agree with someones decisions to support them.  We already look like idiots to the rest of the world, but the more we fight with eachother, the worse we look.\n\nI don't agree with a lot of what our President has done, but without the support of the people we look like a bunch of crybabies who would rather blame someone than take an honest look at how hard the questions are that he has to answer.\n\nKeep in mind, he may be a dullard, but he's our dullard.  Oh, and yes I did vote for him and I consider myself a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian.

America has a bad enough reputation, and if that Nazi takes over its going to get worse!!!\n\nit would just show how ridiculously stupid the American people are to vote a German steroid freek actor to be their president

If you are in the US,and don't know it...please don't ever vote.\nBut even out of the US,the president is so important on the world stage I'd think you'd know.\nAnd it's Wallice and Grommit.

I think it does. I think the people who were ignorant enough to vote in our current President Bush for a second term are to blame because it was their votes which caused Bush to win. I, however, am not to blame because I voted for Kerry. I think more people are aware now of the atrocities going on in Iraq but the problem is, it is too late. Now they realize that so many innocent lives are being lost on a country we should have just left alone.

Well, over 50% of American voters voted for Gore in 2000 and almost 50% voted for Kerry in 2004, and Hillary Clinton was elected Senator of New York state, so yes, there are quite a lot of stupid people in America.

i've been to america, met some nice people.\n\nbut looking at the country from a distance, it seems to me that lots of americans have an extreme arrogant view on the world. like they own this world, like they do good to this world.\n\nthey bring democracy to countries with bombs, they always brag about their big financial aids to the world, when the truth is that they contribute almost the lowest percentage of their national income to aid. european countries donate about 0.7 to 0.8 % , the usa only 0.25% of their national income. just bcs they have a lot of people, it sounds much money, but the european union in total donated lots and lots more.\n\nand abt bush..let me not even answer u on that. he's the devil in cowboyclothes.

Your question is out of date. It's really the president that people don't like and the fact that so many voted against him has already helped dissipate anti-Americanism among most people I know

It is an unfortunate thing that our President chooses to act like a dictator. However, I really would not think it to be a wise thing to let non-Americans vote for our leader, since Americans are now hated by half the world's populace. It could be a very ugly state of affairs for us!

I think Americans are good people for the most part just like in the majority of other countries but as a society in whole we tend to group people in big categories together and say they are one way or another.  Unfortunately things will never change that way.  People are people... some are good and others are not.  Every country has them all.  I guess it depends on the politics that rule the countries nation that makes Countries look bad or look good.  Right now I think the American government is making them look bad in some aspects but I respect the fact that they are a very proud nation. I have been to the USA and love it there.  I would hope that people realize the amount of propoganda out there that causes people to think a certain way and that we must know we are not getting the full story when it comes to the war in Iraq and many decisions that are made by the president and government.\nSad but true
