Shrub's major accomplishment.

Bush has gone and done something most reasonable folks would have thought impossible...

An annual poll of six Arab countries puts President George W. Bush at the top of the world's 'most disliked' for the first time in the history of the poll, CNN International reported today.

... the striking thing is for the very first time in the Arab world the most disliked person is the President of the United States of America, and superceded the combined numbers for both the Prime Minister of Israel and his hated predecessor Ariel Sharon, who's in a coma," said Telhami.

The poll, ...allowed people to suggest any person outside of their own country. In past years, ...This year, Arabs selected Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, because of the "black eye" given to Israel after they withdrew from their attack on Lebanon, according to the report.

For those of you who don't know, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a Shi'ite, while the vast majority of Arabs are Sunnis. And with current relations between Sunnis and Shi'ites at a longtime low, it is even more jarring to see Nasrallah considered the most liked person in the world by Arabs.
