Bush is here - and this is the situation:
- no tram , bus or cars are in the streets.
- all highways in the area are closed
- all schools, kindergartens and the university closed
90% of the shops are closed
-people are not allowed to be in the streets
-if they leave their homes or are on their way to their homes, they are accompanied by police
-all private garages in the city are sealed, no car is allowed to leave them
- all public carports are empty and closed
-all mail boxes and trash bins in the cities were removed, all cars removed
- all manhole covers in the city were weld closed and cannot be opened
- no ships allowed on the Rhine river, all bridhes closed
- no planes allowed over the city area. There is an announcement that any private plane will be shot down without warning
- instead police helicopters are cruising
- the International airport in Frankfurt was / will be closed for an hour when the president lands/takes off
- all hotel rooms in the city are occupied by American security people
pretty much the same is happening in our neighbour city across the Rhine where Bush visits American soldiers.
The progamme of Mrs Bush : visiting American children of soldiers yesterday, visiting Ramstein (US air base) today. Nice to meet you, Mrs Bush
Now tell me, is that normal in the USA when the President visits? Is this the safer world he created when he attacked the Iraq?

ICQ, William:)
Nothing is on lock down like that when he's around. When he flies in our airport (Greater Cincinnati/Northern KY International) all other air traffic is halted, but the airport is not closed. I'm not sure if every time this happens but it is not unusual for F-16s to fly next to Air Force 1. They have orders to shoot down anything that comes near them. It is normal for streets to close down when the motorcade comes through, but it doesn't take very long.
I'm not sure why your people aren't allowed out and everything is so locked down. Here when the President is out, he likes to shake hands with people and be social. I guess his advisors just don't feel like he's safe.

Apparently, he thinks that "Old Europe" is full of terrorists I think Bush is paranoid. No other president ever required such heavy security. Bush senior visited my city and it was a very different story, he actually talked to German people.
Ow my god... I'm glad Bush doesn't come over to the Netherlands. (our goverment supports that asshole, so there's no need for him to talk to those sissies) Hate living in isolation.
Bush should talk to your people. I can imagine how that would make your city feel if Bush acts like he is too good to speak to your people. He should make more of an effort to speak to the people of other nations. Maybe if he did he might be more liked??? is that possible?? hahahaahaaa!
How are you feeling today Barb? Hope your day is going well.

I am forced out of work like most people here.
Initially, Bush wanted to chat with students from our university but the plan was cancelled because he did not want to answer any questions the students handed in:
about the American social security system, the Kyoto protocol, The US opinion about the UN, the Iraq war, the American economy, The US nuclear weapons in Germany, the role of the NATO etc etc etc.
Instead he will talk to "young leaders" i.e. young (American) members of various German-American friendship organisations. I don't mind with which American citizens he or his wife speak, I only wish they would do it at home and I would not have to pay for it with my tax money.

Trust me, he will go there knowing that pot is legal in the Netherlands. The man sure hasn't forgotten his old party days. However, he might not go to the Netherlands while blow is still illegal, and we all know that's his favorite.
If Bush doesn't go there, then at least we know that his daughter Jenna would be more than happy to party on in Holland.

That's because he has no arguments to defend his political decisions. They would have kicked his ass.

That would be a good reason to forbid smoking Canabis here ;-)
Do you still get pay for the day you can't work Barb? I hope so.

Powerful... aarrrgg. That's what I hate! Is the rest of the world less important than the USA??? I hate that arrogance. No offence to you guys.
The CIA let us believe what they want. Didn't the USA attacked Iraq because of the Nuclear weapons?? By the way, Israel does own a lot nuclear weapons as well. So let Israel defend itself, it's their own fault that they have a lot of enemies.

Can you trust the same people who gave the information that Iraq had WMDs, and links to Al-Qaeda? North Korea is most likely to nuke South Korea or Japan than Iran to nuke Israel. Yet Bush doesn't seem to care much about North Korea. Oh, and what can we say about Osama Bin Laden? Remember him? The man who killed 3,000 Americans but who seems to be forgotten more and more by the Bush administration day by day. Where the hell is he? and why Bush doesn't go after him even though the entire world knows that he's the biggest threat to America.
Iran could hate Israel all they want, but at a time like this when relationships between Israel and Palestine have shown major improvements leading to a quite possible declaration of an independent Palestinian state, any wrong move from Iran would put the whole world including Muslim nations against them.
Iran has shown more progress towards peace than the United States, and their peace purposes are very poor let me tell you. The Bush administration is an absolute embarassment to this great nation. Their arrogant "kick-ass" attitude is nothing but an evil obsession with power.
