During a stop in Indonesia yesterday, Bush got an earrful from three Muslim leaders who criticized his staunch support for Israel, questioned the war in Iraq and expressed fears that most Americans consider Muslims to be terrorists. Bush was told his policies encouraged the very reactionary violence he wants to end.

"We told him U.S. foreign policy should seek a new paradigm if the U.S. wants to be respected by the world community and be safe," Syafii Maarif, head of Muhammadiyah, the second-largest Muslim group in Indonesia, told Reuters news service after Bush departed. Hasyim Muzadi, leader of Indonesia's largest Muslim group, Nahdlatul Ulama, added: "The clash between Islam and America needs to be stopped because this will destroy everything."

2. Do you think they just put him in a cardboard box,

make airplane sounds, and then a few hours later get him out and tell him that he is in another country?

Would he know the difference? :shrug:

It was such a long and arduous trip, I bet he heads for the pig ranch as soon as he gets back. He can't stay away too long, can he.

4. Six nations? Is that counting Hawai'i or not? (sarcasm)

That's what Bush* wants to know. He's probably asking Mr. Cheney about that right now.

If I could get off work early, I'd be sorely tempted to meet 'n' greet him and show a little of tat special Island hospitality... </sarcasm>
