"Respect" implies approval and admiration. You seem to need a better
dictionary.

What Dubbya seems to have won for the US is a place in the queue to be
prosecuted for a variety of war crimes, including a rather distasteful
series of violations of the Geneva convnetions concerning the
treatment of prisoners of war. I'd prefer not to have that kind of
"respect" myself.
