TP, I think it would be fitting if the other countries gave Junior the second-class reception treatment when he went to visit. All of them? You know why most of them won't, don't you? Even South Korea, whose current president was elected on an anti-American platform. Tenchusatsu

do you think it's not harsh enough I think it would be fitting if the other countries gave Junior the second-class reception treatment when he went to visit Are you kidding? There are demonstrations wherever Bush visits. My German friends said they have never seen such heightened security for a US president nor for any other leader as was provided to Bush last year when he came calling. Munich was virtually shut down the entire time he was there.......and there were demonstrations everywhere. Hell there were demonstrations in Seattle when he came visiting last week. The reason why do you don't know is because the press, including the mainstream press, is very careful not to play up the demonstrations when they talk about his overseas visits. I am sure part of the reason for Bush's new demeanor has to do with the reception he gets in other countries. He is pretty much universally hated outside of the US.
