BOGOR, Indonesia: Nearly 150 people rallied Wednesday in support of U.S. President George W. Bush's planned visit to the world's most populous Muslim nation — a rare sight amid rising anger over the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Welcome Mr. Bush, president of the world's most powerful country!" said a banner carried by 100 demonstrators in the city of Bogor, where the American leader is scheduled to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday.
Supporters also turned out by the dozens in the Sulawesi town of Manado.
Small, peaceful demonstrations against Bush's trip have taken place in cities across Indonesia almost every day this month, including protests Wednesday in the capital Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Jember, Lampung — and even Bogor, where supporters and opponents of Bush briefly came face-to-face.

Nice to see that some in these nations have a favorable opinion of our President. Thank you for posting this.
"Welcome Mr. Bush, president of the world's most powerful country!"
They obviously didn't get the memo from the DNC.
Manado is one of the world's best diving spots. Might be worth keeping in mind next time you think about vacation.
You might as well post an article praising Hillary and accusing Ronald Reagan of being a gay pedophile, because with a name as cute as yours I would find it very difficult to be angry at you!
Awww, your name is cute, too!

I'm employed, yet I make time to support our troops, or go up against the moonbats. Therefore, I feel that it is a rather lame excuse not to act. Our rallies are Friday night and Sunday afternoon. We have been at it for four years through all kinds of weather, and most holidays.
