Excessive?

All right, I'm not usually one to side with protesters (because they're almost always crazy), but in this instance I have to agree 100%.

I don't care how much the Bush family claims they're trying to "mend" the United State's relationship with Islamic countries. After George Bush stirred up all this conflict in the Middle East, soiled the world's perception of Muslims, and basically spat in the face of religious equality by pushing his conservative Christian agenda - I'm shocked that he would even consider visiting Islamic infrastructure (not-to-mention, EXTREMELY holy Islamic infrastructure). Additionally, Bush ferociously supports the Israelis in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but he'll visit the Dome of the Rock mosque, one of the things we've taken away from the Palestinians by supporting and aiding the Israelis.. So, am I at all upset when Muslim protesters shout "you don't belong here" at the president and the first lady, as the hop from holy here to holy there in their limo? Not really.

Additionally, I can just picture the shock on Bush's face when he figured out that the Israelis hate him, too. All the Israelis are stilled miffed about Jonathan Pollard, and rightfully so. The poor guy does some spying for Israel (to get info on some Arab countries), and then he's arrested and sentenced to life in prison. AND THEN, in the mid 1990's Yitzhak Rabin convinces Clinton to pardon the guy, but the Justice and Defense Department (not to mention the worthless CIA) tell him not to pardon him. Yeah, way to be a pawn Clinton (isn't he always? CHINACHINACHINA). Anyways, now Bush is in office and the guy is still wasting away in some shitty North Carolina prison.

Not to sound like an angsty teenage anarchist, but the president blows, and I'm glad everyone is starting to realise it. Oh well.
