BOMBAY, India -- Demonstrators in India shouted "Death to America!" and burned effigies of President Bush on Tuesday, demanding that he be barred from visiting the country this week.

Bush arrives in India Wednesday for a three-day visit focused on strengthening the emerging strategic partnership between India and the United States. Dozens of protests have been planned by Islamic leaders and communist politicians.

About 1,000 Muslims demonstrated in Bombay, some waving placards reading "Devil Bush Go Back," with caricatures of Bush as a cross between Superman and Satan -- dressed in the superhero's red-and-blue costume with devil's horns and clutching a missile.

"Bush is terrorist No. 1, and it is an insult to Indian Muslims that he is coming to India as a guest of the government," said Mohammed Saeed Noori of the Bombay-based Muslim organization Raza Academy. "Bush first destroyed Afghanistan, then Iraq. He should be stopped from entering India."

6. Remember when we had a president that was admired?

They even named boulevards after Clinton in towns he visited.

These bush trips, with their need for tree-top helicopter "cover" and street/town "clearings" says something, doesn't it? Yet the local media continues to prop up the fraud. Remarkable.

I remember as a young lad the day Nixon came to visit Portland, Oregon in the early 70's. It was the same thing -- Nixon's motorcade traveling down a barricaded Sandy Boulevard while helicopter gunships buzzed both sides at treetop level. Utterly disgusting.
