I think a British comedy literate audience would enjoy someone taking the piss out of Kerry, Dean, the Clintons, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter as well as the Kennedys. They aren't quite as good a target as Cheney and especially Bush who behaves like a comic's straight man a lot of the time, just lobbing it up for others to smash.
I think the rest of the world is 'looking at America in Iraq and thinking "what the fuck are you doing?"'and one of the reasons is that America spent so many years selling weapons to Saddam only to then have them fired back at themselves. Ignoring WMD, Bush speaks of him 'being a bad guy' but still many administrations (both US and UK) continued to flog him the weapons he used. The outside world ('old Europe' and liberal elements in Britain) don't actually care about economic losses to their armaments industry. It's Joe Public who dislikes the war and he doesn't care about BAe Systems losing money.
