BOGOR, Indonesia (AP) - President Bush's unpopularity here in the world's most populous
Muslim nation made intense security jitters and angry protests the hallmarks of a six-hour
trip to court Indonesian favor.

Bush arrived Monday for the second Indonesian stop of his presidency. Neither time has he
spent the night, or even more than a few hours, the result of safety concerns in a place
where emotions about his policies in the Middle East and the Iraq war run hot.

From a meeting and joint appearance before reporters with President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono through a discussion with moderate civic leaders and a state dinner, Bush was
not expected to interact with the general populace or do anything outside the confines
of Bogor Palace, a graceful presidential retreat in this mountain town on the outskirts
of the capital of Jakarta.

3. What, NO ROSES in the streets?

4. How sad this country has a president who has to sneak in and..

out of countries around the world. The "general populace" worldwide is against Bush and his policies and he still insists he is doing the right thing. How stupid can one person be.

5. If you are asking that question in reference to G. W. Bush,...

...then you MUST know that the answer is something like, 'He has not yet BEGUN to plumb the depths of his awesome stupidity!'.
