Without reading the article .. my comment is this: Since Bush has lived in TEXAS for many, many years, why wouldn't his major contacts be with people in Texas ..??
Why does this obvious connection seem so irregular .. when to me it just seems logical ..??
Thanks for the ping indcons :)
It's a shame Bush can't find time to visit the Taj Mahal, especially since he'll be so close (well relatively anyway) in Delhi.
Personally I think it's because his security people get nervous whenever he's out in an exposed area. It seems like they always try to keep him indoors as much as possible. Though after I looked at a satellite image of the Taj it looks pretty well secured (in that it would be hard for a Muslim sniper-assassin to get into position.)
Well, he'll miss the chance to see a great historical monument.
oops I didnt mean for the image I just posted to be so big :(
Please remove it if it's too big and would slow page loading or take up too much space or whatever.
Thanks.
Even if you dont like the people who built it, the building is still beautiful, and fascinating from a historical perspective.
In Spain they still like the Alhambra and alcazars, even though the Muslims built those.
They are part of history, and should be cherished as such. You should like the Taj Mahal because it is part of history, and a great building aesthetically and architecturally.
The Taj Mahal, in my opinion, is one of three things that lives up to its hype. The Grand Canyon and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony are the other two.
