Kuwaiti: Arabs lucky Bush won because Kerry pro-alternative energy
From today's Toronto Globe and Mail:

World dismayed as Bush wins second term

London — For the past four years, many people around the world have been able to convince themselves that George W. Bush was a fleeting spectre who did not really represent his country or its people. Yesterday, national leaders and ordinary citizens in dozens of countries were forced to change that assessment.

For some, it meant downgrading their view of the American people. By giving Mr. Bush a strong majority in a fair and well-attended election, Americans convinced the world that they really meant it — and the world wasn't always happy to hear that.

"I had previously told my friends that I support the American people but that I do not support their leader, who they did not truly choose and who did not represent their beliefs," a Parisian student said on Radio France last night. "Now I understand that there is truly unity in their beliefs, and I am not so confident about America."

...

A Kuwaiti official argued that the Arab world is lucky to have Mr. Bush in place because Mr. Kerry is a supporter of alternative-energy sources, which would threaten the region's oil industry.

1. ta da there it is....all about the money and the oil..no alt energy until
the mega oil corporations have figured out a way to control alternative energy...after the oil prices go bananas due to dwindling supplies and the costs of alt energy make it a gold mine to develop.
