"Families of Iraq war dead condemn Bush visit to UK"
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/story.jsp?story=461995

<snip>
"The relatives claimed that the continuing deaths of coalition soldiers in Iraq meant the President's state visit - the first by a US leader since the Coronation in 1953 - was inappropriate.

Reg Keys, whose son, Lance Corporal Thomas Keys, was one of the six Royal Military Police killed by a mob near Basra in June, said he had developed "a quite passionate hatred" of the US leader.

"I can't stand the man," said Mr Keys, 51, of Llanuwchllyn, north Wales. "He has a nerve coming over to this country after all the misery he's caused. I just can't understand why Bush was so keen to go to war against Iraq - it's almost as if he was hell bent on making a name for himself."

3. Thanks for the post, zidzi
I am looking forward to our media's view of the Brits when AWOL is over there. Will they cover the protests and interview any of these people about how they really feel. Or will they just show a few up close shots and gloss over it all?

:hi:
