"I think Bush deserves this victory because he fought a war for the USA. I don't know why Muslims grieve at his victory because there is no difference between Bush and Kerry. And US polices towards the Muslim world will never change." [emphasis added]
Yasir, Mirpur, Pakistan
"The people of the USA have proved that despite the atrocities in Abu Ghraib jail and the murder of thousands of people in Iraq, they will keep supporting injustice. This election result is a nightmare for the whole world."
Hilal Bari, Lahore, Pakistan
"I am shocked how America couldn't select such a genuine and passionate leader as Senator Kerry. God bless our world. How would the founding fathers of America feel about their land becoming such a Christian fundamentalist country?"
Tim Karman, Singapore
"Well I'm in the minority I guess but I'm so happy. These difficult times require clear leadership, dedication and strength. Kerry didn't have any of those qualities. Bush is the only one who could lead America."
Fiona, Paris, France
"Bush's victory has made the world quite clear. It is all of us now, Europe, Africa, and Asia, against them."
Irgi, Jakarta, Indonesia
"Well the right man won, that's for certain. Mr Kerry was a worthy opponent and the country is evenly divided. But only one of the two men is committed to the vision that the only long term answer to the powder keg of the Middle East is to clear the scene of tyrants and allow the people there to grow decent, lawful, representative governments. For his courageous stand on "other" people's freedoms, not just that of Americans, President Bush is among our greatest presidents."
Joseph Stern, New York, New York, USA
"Many Canadians are dismayed to see Bush stay for a second term in the White House. George Bush doesn't know how to deal with the rest of the world and thinks the stick and the carrot policy is the most appropriate, especially with Arabs. His policies have turned many people against America."
Wael, Toronto, Canada
"After Bush's victory, I think the US forces will withdraw. But not before they have passed through Iran or Syria!"
Ali Mohammed Jum'aa, Kirkuk, Iraq
