The world was sympathetic to Saddam? Maybe a few countries might have done business with him, but NOBODY (except the Palestinians) was sympathetic. Despite the loss of business, I don't think even the Russians or Chinese were shedding any tears for Saddam. Nor is anybody that sympathetic to Iran aside from Syria and maybe Pakistan. The Sunni Arabs hate Iran, and would have probably been more supportive toward military action if Bush hadn't decided to play cowboy in Iraq. Same with North Korea, excluding perhaps China. Nobody else is going to shed any tears over Kim Jong-il.
I would rank Iran #3 as the most hated country in the world.
As for world opinion, who's fault is that? Is it the World's fault that they hate Bush more than Ahmedinejab? Or can you think of a few things Bush *might* have done to
really piss the world off? If you act like a jerk, you get treated like one. Compared to Bush, all Ahmedinejab is done (so far) is to blow hot air to the world media, make a few empty threats, and defy the UN. I can think of at least a few other countries that have done the same.
I am no admirer of Ahmadinejab, but I can say Ahmadinejab is far more skilled at playing world politics than Bush. Take Iran, its a pissant compared to the size and power of the USA. Yet, we have Ahmedinejab who has constantly made us out to the biggest fools in the world. I have to give him credit, his ability to enrage the West and get away with it has been masterful so far, although I do think his arrogance will cause him go too far some day. I have read reports that some of the Mullahs are beginning to question that strategy of deliberately provoking the U.S. Personally, I think Ahmadinejab will be much less arrogant and adversarial the moment he has a opponent who can play the game at his level, and that ain't the neocons.
