Right. This one ought to entertain you, Nadine. WHITE HOUSE MEMO On High-Speed Trip, Bush Glimpses a Perception Gap nytimes.com Minutes after President Bush finished an hourlong meeting with moderate Islamic leaders on the island of Bali on Wednesday, he approached his staff with something of a puzzled look on his face. "Do they really believe that we think all Muslims are terrorists?" he asked, shaking his head. He was equally distressed, he told them, to hear that the United States was so pro-Israel that it was uninterested in the creation of a Palestinian state living alongside Israel, despite his frequent declarations calling for exactly that. It was a revealing moment precisely because the president was so surprised. Presumably, W was shocked, shocked! to learn that the world at large was paying more attention to the words and actions of those who seem to be setting US foreign policy than to W's occasional sincere lip service. Time for another PR offensive, I guess.
