I find it very strange that so many foreign people, and so many people in our own country hold such hatred and anger at President Bush, but some how hold President Clinton in a position of respect or admiration.

IMHO, that difference is, in large measure, based on how the two have been portrayed so differently in press and TV coverage.
To the media, since Clinton was "their guy", he could do no wrong. Since GWB isn't, he can do nothing right.
Had a Republican president allowed military equipment to be used at the Branch Davidian (David Koresh) compound in Texas, everyone in the country would have heard the words "Posse Commitatus" until they were sick of them.
Had a Republican president deported Elian Gonzalez to Cuba, they'd still be bemoaning the fate of the poor little freedom-fighter at the hands of the uncaring Republicans.
