JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesian police warned Saturday that the threat of an attack by al-Qaida-linked militants has increased sharply ahead of U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to the world's most populous Muslim country.

Bush arrives Monday for talks with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono that will touch on the Middle East crisis and the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan — the cause of mounting anger among Indonesia's 190 million Muslims.

Though most people here practice a moderate form of the faith, hard-liners are gaining ground and Jakarta's police chief, Maj. Gen. Adang Firman, told reporters that the threat of an attack by militants had "escalated sharply" in recent days.

1. Why don't his handlers get a clue and not go there?

He's hated all over, but his appearance in Jakarta could hurt lots of other people.

They're all in a state of denial.

4. We need a better definition of the word terrorist.

Are roadside bombs an act of terrorism? What about dropping cluster bombs on villages?

Are random acts of violence any more terrifying than knowing that you could be killed simply for trying to plow your fields?
