If Steyn is worried, then I'm worried.

Mark has a point here; this trip was unnecessary, god forbid if something bad happens to London or crap falling in Iraq - not a good idea - all these for a phto-op with the Queen - indeed, the price is too high for that.
But then again, I recalled the millions of protestors in Europe against Ronald "Raygun" in 1983 over the Pershing Missiles stuff, it doesn't seem to hurt him in anyway in 1984 at all. Should be interesting how history will judge "W" vs "Raygun" on theirs unpopular decisions - at least to the Eurolefties..

Great graphic!

Doesn't matter. His son took her governorship in 92 and its been downhill for her ever since and for W ever upward. W's reelection in 98 is one of the most remarkable political feats in our time and it was his springboard to the Presidency.

Correction: Bush defeated Richards in the 1994 gubernatorial election. Terms as governor in Texas last for four years, not six as you implied.

So far, Bush has done a remarkable job of using the press's worst instincts against them. They will never give him any free or favorable publicity, so he has to somehow use their corrupt dishonesty to make them work against themselves.
For instance, the press spent a whole year linking Bush to the economy. Now that the economy is improving, that enormously expensive media campaign can only help him. Coneheads everywhere will think, "Duh, Bush, economy!" and pull the Bush lever, because that's what the press told them to do.
I don't have the foggiest notion what he's planning here, but I wouldn't rush to be against him.

Maybe President Bush wants a chance to speak to the people of the United Kingdom without the usual BBC soundbites and duckspeak.

BUMP
Bush has to do this, if only to show the not-so-ragheaded that he fears them not. In my mind,as clouded as it is at times, he has to do this, just to show his courage and unwavering dedication to rid the world of this menace, and to prove that in a free country, he knows this bunch of marxists STILL have the freedom to voice their assinine ideas. It is imperative.

As to the derangement of the crowd, they are impervious to reason. After two years of warnings from clapped-out Arabists that the incendiary "Arab street" was about to explode in anti-American rage across the Middle East, it remains as unrousable as ever. Instead, it is the explosive European street that remains implacably pro-Saddam, pro-Yasser, pro-jihad, pro-Taliban misogynist homophobes, pro-anyone as long as they are anti-American. Yep. Houston, we have a problem.

<< Yeah, but the majority of Minnesota was somewhat ashamed and aware of the obvious repulsiveness of the Wellstone/Nuremberg Rally. I'm not sure the same can be said of Britain. >>
Spot on!
Most envy-motivated Limeys hate and rage against US, in ways most Americans; doomed, it sometimes seems, by our inability to quit projecting the content of Our Character on to those who absolutely loathe and despise US; find impossible, until it's September 11 2001, to imagine -- or to contemplate.
<< Bush-hatred is just a form of cultural self-hatred.
That's why this week will be a good test of US resolve. The Islamists can't win militarily. They can only win by demoralising America into jacking it in.
That's a high price to pay for a Palace photo-op. >>
Lead in their efforts by the execrable Mad' "Andnotat" Allbright, the whole KKKli'toon Gang and their every other un-and-anti-America henchman: -- including and especially those of America's enemies, Ginsberg, Souter et al, on the once-supreme Court -- and those who comprise Foggy Bottom's loathsome and fearsome self-annointing and self-perpetuating bastard-ofspring of the Communist Party of America-descended Brahmanas; -- are flogging the "all our old 'friends and allys' hate US stratergery to the death!
A high price indeed.
Please God that Mr Bush knows what he's doing on this one.
Too.
And my money's on our President.
