Unclear on the concept. Way, way unclear.

From Breaking News.ie:
Security was tight amid reports that al Qaida-linked militants could try to disrupt Bush’s six-hour visit to the sleepy city of Bogor, just south of the capital, Jakarta, with thousands of rifle-toting soldiers patrolling the streets, mobile phone signals jammed, and water cannons deployed.

Demonstrations by Islamic hard-liners, students, housewives and taxi drivers have been staged every day this month and nearly 10,000 turned out to meet the US president today, some holding banners that said “Bush is a terrorist!” and “Go to Hell.”

Others called him a war criminal and chanted “Allah Akbar” or “God is great.”

Students in at least two cities tried to seal off American-owned restaurants, sometimes clashing with police.

DOOFUS calls all this "a good sign of a healthy society."

So I guess we've still got a long way to go.
