World sees Dems' win as Bush rejection

[maddezmom]

TOKYO - Democratic gains in Congress were seen by some foreign observers Wednesday as a rejection of President Bush and the Iraq war, and the possible start of significant changes in their own nations' relations with the U.S.

Bush's overseas critics cheered, saying that the new Democratic control of the House and challenge to Republican dominance in the Senate in midterm elections Tuesday was Bush's comeuppance for failures in Iraq.

"The Republicans lost in the election because the American voters are now fed up and bored with the war," said Vitaya Wisetrat, a prominent anti-American Muslim cleric in Thailand. "The American people now realize that Bush is the big liar."

In China, the resurgence of the Democrats raised fears of renewed U.S. attention to human rights, trade and labor issues. China's surging economy has a massive trade surplus with the United States.

2. That's exactly what it is.

China is now worried over human rights, trade and labor issues. That's hysterical. Further proof that the rethugs don't give a shit about human rights, trade rights and worker rights. What a wonderful party to belong to, one that rejects human dignity in all forms. :eyes:

3. "Bush rejection"? Fascist rejection. PNAC rejection.

Murder rejection. That general vicinity.
