"Bush is the world's No. 1 terrorist"

another interesting little twist to the news... it's amazing how many of these you can spot when you're paying attention...

Hundreds of Islamic hard-liners rallied in front of the American Embassy in Jakarta on Saturday, denouncing President Bush's planned trip to the world's most populous Muslim nation.

there were large-scale protests when bush came to argentina last year about this same time for the summit of the americas, but you didn't see protesters here being characterized as "hard-line catholics..."

"Bush should not come to Indonesia," shouted Muhammad Ismail Yusanto, saying Bush was responsible for the violence in the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Afghanistan.

[...]

"Bush is the world's No. 1 terrorist," chanted about 600 protesters outside the embassy, which was ringed by police.

"He has ordered U.S. troops to colonize Iraq and Afghanistan," they chanted.

according to a post i put up yesterday about a survey published in the guardian, bush is the world's #2 terrorist, but, who's quibbling...?
