I thought you would like to see these articles about the honourable a**wipes visit down under:

Protesters mass in Canberra

Hundreds of protesters gathered this morning on the lawn outside Parliament House in Canberra for the arrival of US President George W Bush.

<snip>

Messages targeting the president included "Bush is an evil guy", "Lying war heads" and "Australians for Peace".

The growing crowd, which included small children and the elderly, applauded as protesters carried an effigy of Mr Bush being followed closely by a dog with the head of Prime Minister John Howard. Another group of protesters held high a banner with Chinese characters which they said translated as: "We do not want to be George Bush's arse lickers."

Mr Bush, here is why we opposed the Iraq war

Forty-one ALP federal parliamentarians have written an open letter to George Bush.

Dear President Bush,

The friendship between our countries is longstanding and deeply felt. We have a great deal in common, particularly our commitment to democracy. We retain our commitment to the ANZUS alliance.

That's why we feel it's important for you to understand why so many Australians opposed the war on Iraq.

Australians have a history of support for international efforts to stop the spread of weapons including weapons of mass destruction and landmines. Weapons inspectors should have been given the time they asked for to peacefully disarm Iraq. No evidence of a massive weapons building program nor capability has emerged since the war. Australia, the US and Britain went to war because of a "clear and present danger" which just did not exist.

The ALP firmly believes that international conflict should, wherever possible, be dealt with peacefully and through international co-operation under the auspices of the United Nations. When all attempts for a peaceful resolution have been exhausted, United Nations sanction is vital if force is to be used.

Air Force jets keep Canberra awake

The roar of air force jets patrolling the skies kept dogs barking and Canberra residents awake on Wednesday night.

United States President George W Bush arrived in Canberra and will address the federal parliament.

RAAF F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets escorted Mr Bush's plane into Canberra and are patrolling the skies of Canberra to enforce an air-exclusion zone.

Talkback callers to Canberra radio stations complained of not being able to sleep because of the noise of the aerial patrols.

On Edit: The thing I found most disturbing about his royal a**wipes visit down under is the picture:

This picutre is one of the most scariest I have ever seen of him. I think it is because he is standing on a podium with the Australian coat of arms on it, and our flag in the background.
