Bush: Tsunami Response Improves U.S. Image

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. response to last year's devastating tsunami in Asia had changed opinions of America in parts of the Muslim world, President Bush said on Tuesday.

``I think that the world is beginning to see a different impression of America,'' Bush said during a White House meeting with his father -- former President Bush -- and former President Bill Clinton, who are leading the push for private donations for tsunami relief.

The Bush administration has been struggling to turn a tide of anti-U.S. hostility, particularly among Muslims, that was spurred by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and a perceived anti-Palestinian bias in Washington's Middle East policy.

It has viewed the U.S. response to the tsunami as an opportunity to showcase a charitable side.
