AHA!
More proof that President Bush is responsible turning most of the civilized world against America. More proof that President Bush is making America less safe as more countries are reacting to Bush's threats, arrogance and his "cowboy-mentality"!
It is evident that President Bush has rallied terrorists world-wide over to Iraq to fight and kill our troops in their own back yard.
Why come to the United States when Bush hand delivered our brave troops to Iraq for the terrorists to kill on a daily basis.
It is also evident that more and more countries will unite in reaction to Bush's expansion-policy via his invasion of Iraq and possible invasion of Iran, North Korea and even Syria.
The ramifications and repercussions are rolling in and Venezuela's and Ecaduor's anti-U.S policies are proof-positive.
Can Canada and Mexico be far behind?

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) -- A leftist outsider whose attacks on a corrupt political establishment have fueled his rise in popularity was facing a tough challenge in Sunday's presidential election from a banana tycoon waging an old-fashioned populist campaign.
Rafael Correa, 43, a U.S.-educated economist, is an admirer of Venezuela's anti-U.S. firebrand President Hugo Chavez, and his victory could further tilt Latin America to the left, joining left-leaning governments in Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
Tall and charismatic, Correa has surged into the lead by pledging a "citizens' revolution" against the discredited political system. Ecuadorans have driven the last three elected presidents from power, and Correa appeals to voters as a fresh face in a field of established politicians.
Standing in his way is Alvaro Noboa, 55, Ecuador's wealthiest man, who proudly points out he is also its biggest investor, the owner of 110 companies. He says he will use his business skills to bring Ecuador's poor into the middle class.
Making his third run for the presidency, Noboa has moved up quickly in the polls in recent days to a close second to Correa with his promises to provide cheap housing and create a million jobs in this small Andean nation of 13.4 million people, 76 percent of whom are poor, according to UNICEF.
No candidate in the field of 13 was expected to win outright on Sunday, meaning the two top finishers would go to a runoff on November 26.
Polls this week showed Correa and Noboa far ahead of the other two candidates who had been in contention until recently: center-left former Vice President Leon Roldos, 64, and Cynthia Viteri, 40, a conservative former congresswoman who is pro-business...
