Tyrone, Me thinks you never took a psych course, much less reverse psych.
Those who oppose the US presence on "Arab" soils, along with a few other US insults, prefer Bush because he's foolish, near-sighted and lacking in ability to see beyond the dogmas of his choice regligion and his queer interpretation of democracy, all of which weakens America without any need for their throwing the first rock. Oddly enough, Mr. Bush's arrogance under the guise of presidential authority also entices new recruits rich in seething anger. Bush is nothing more than a double edged sword pressed against the American throat. Kerry? A little more aware of bigger pictures and options to navigate through, to or away from them, with enough of a hint of American swagger as to be formidable if provoked. Now if you were an insurgent hell bent on seeing America anhilated, who would be your first preference?
