Indeed.
This is my own (an outsider's perspective) in case any Yank is interested.
1. Bush has made many serious mistakes.
2. Bush has the courage of his convictions.
3. Bush passionately believes what he did was/is right.
4. Bush shows real and genuine leadership.
5. Bush is good for the UK generally. Unlike Clinton, Bush actually likes us.
6. Bush is not weak like our own Prime Minister.
7. Bush is nobody's fool.
So, apart from #1 (and to err is human) his attributes are generally positive.
Particularly from a UK perspective (though most Britons don't see it, of course
-- he's desperately unpopular here).
And what about Kerry? I know nothing of the man himself, but he has the
hardest, most unwelcoming look that I can ever imagine. To me, the look of a
nasty evil person. I can't even really explain why and I don't pretend for one
instant that it's rational. But that, combined with the policies he supports,
would mean I could never vote for him or his ilk.
Cheers everyone!
