Ping....thought you might be interested in this article on Pres. Bush's upcoming visit to India.

US President George W. Bush will have to negotiate hot Indian curry and spicy Indian food when he is here next week.

"Well, I'm going to have to -- I'll have to try that on. I'll tell you afterwards," a smiling Bush told India's state-run television Doordarshan in Washington.

He was asked whether he had discussed with First Lady Laura Bush how to negotiate hot Indian curry during his three-day India visit starting March 1. The interview was broadcast Saturday.

Thanks for the ping! We're off to breakfast and a meeting. I'll read it when we return. Thanks, again!

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.

I posted a satellite image of the Taj Mahal but after I posted it I realized it was WAAAY too enormous so I asked the moderator to remove it. Here's a nice pic I found though, and below is a (hopefully) much smaller version of the satellite photo.
