Bush holding hands with Prince Abdullah.

It’s not the first time they’ve been seen holding hands. Remember the G8 summit in France in - what was it - 2003? There were photos taken then too - do a quick images search and you’ll find it. I’d post them, but I’m not sure if I’m legally allowed.

Sure, I had a wee giggle to myself when I saw Mr. Macho holding hands. In another way, though, it was friendly and respectful of cultural difference - it was one area in which Bush allowed himself to be somewhat open to that diplomatic ground in-between.

If he might pursue his policies the same way - and with perhaps different friends - we might be getting somewhere at last.

In any case, I’d rather hear about the substance of what they discussed.
