Sure, the world opinion thing is getting old, but it's a new study and each time they release one of these things, Bush's international support is shown to have crumbled even further. This latest one was performed by BBC World Service in 21 countries; only India, Philippines and actually-you-forgot-Poland thought the world was now safer. (Link)
