Brits "Welcome" Mr. Bush

"...the smarter people feel, the dumber they act."

        - Carolyn T. Geer, Forbes magazine, June 15, 1998

While President Bush will be met by thousands of anti-war, anti-American protestors on his visit to England, it appears they may not represent the majority thinking. Jim Miller on Politics writes about a recent Guardian poll which shows most Brits have a positive view of Bush and the U.S. role in the world. This is surprising to me. Hope it's accurate.

Glenn Reynolds at InstaPundit posts a welcome letter from Frederick Forsyth to Bush with some advice on how to deal with the unfriendly crowds.

Andrew Sullivan at the Daily Dish wraps it up with a long article he wrote for the The Sunday Times. Andrew addresses the many criticisms being leveled at our president, and refutes them one by one. Wade through the whole thing if you can. It's worth your time.

Your references to InstaPundit and Andrew Sullivan's article were excellent! I learned a lot from Sullivan, but InstaPundit was great fun! Thanks for bringing them to our attention. The Guardian poll will have to be hidden by the Left. What would happen if those statistics hit the front page!

Great job with you journal Ron! I too feel like your story about the Brit's. Most people polled believe we should finish what we started. The problem to me is we started too late. We should have went into Iraq after the USS Cole was hit.
Thanks for all of your links and great stories.
You are a great reporter of the "Rest of the story."
