Have you looked at this photo uncropped? Note the gun on the hip of the Chilean in front (both arms apparently engaged holding back an American agent). The President a few feet away, at top right.

As another poster wrote, "I can't think of another instance in modern history that a President personally went against armed foreign nationals."
Yes, I noticed the gun on that gent's hip over the weekend. Actually, there's no telling how many unseen guns were within a few feet of our President at that moment. Disturbing indeed!
First of all..............he's the President of the U.S., why would the Chileans not let his S.S. person in? Come on, I would supose all world leaders would be allowed that security. I would expect Chirac, Blaire, any of them to have their own security as well. I think it showed a lot of boldness by GW to approach that huddle, who knows what could have happened. I pray daily that the Lord will protect him and Laura, and VP Cheney and Lynn. I think we should all do so.
Didn't you see "Independence Day" and "Air Force One"?
I guess you never saw "Airforce One" with Harrison Ford.
