62% of Indians think Bush's re-election has made the world safer

Funny how the BBC just brushes aside the opinion of 620 million Indians and focuses on what muslims think.

Global poll slams Bush leadership

More than half of people surveyed in a BBC World Service poll say the re-election of US President George W Bush has made the world more dangerous.

Only three countries - India, Poland and the Philippines - out of 21 polled believed the world was now safer.

Turkey topped the anti-Bush list, with 82% believing his re-election would be negative for global security.

The result is bad news for the president as Turkey is a US ally and the only Muslim member of Nato, says the BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels.

Other predominantly Muslim countries - Indonesia and Lebanon - were also high up the list.

Another surprise was India's support for Mr Bush. The poll found 62% believed his administration was positive for global security.
