Tehran Endorses Bush - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

It could be reasoned either way. Bush is the known entity and he doesn't have any credibility with most of the public and the world therefore it would be difficult to start any new adventures. Kerry would, metophorically speaking, have a new line of credit. Some governments and some terrorist governments think that new line of credit would allow Kerry to mettle in their affairs, and pressure them to stop a lot of human rights abuses (like Darfur, Iran, Turkey) and the other group, who see Bush as the best choice think that he is best because he is not going to pressure them on that avenue so the only thing he would do is start a new war...which is not likely. That's the only explaination I can come up with.

Basically, it's just a really, really weird year!

The Arab political world view like that of the EU sees American politics as one man and an intricate set of policies. What's funny is that the governments seem to prefer Bush and the 'people' prefer Kerry and you can guarantee that the idiots and fools like takeo and his minions will be saying exactly the same thing about a Kerry victory as they say now about Bush. They take their lead from the idiot Arab press which understands even less than they do and they both end up getting it wrong.

It works this way. In the arab/persian world, politics is defined by the MAN not the government. There is zero notion that there exists anything like policy or national direction irrespective of the MAN.

Iran likes Bush because they are convinced that Bush will remain bogged down in Iraq as opposed to Kerry who might or might not engage Europe to in some way pressure the Iranians to: drop their nuclear program, stop supporting Hezbollah, etc. They envisage a dangerous Kerry presidency for the same reason they see a blundering Bush.

Whether this is actually true or not is not the point, it's the shape of the world they see.
