Unwelcomed Guests

Foreign Head of States, unless they are European, visiting United States, are not well treated.. When the president of Iran flew into NY to address the UN General Assembly, he was not allowed to travel 20 miles from the UN Building. Poor Ahmedinijab. He told Larry King he would like to go to California
I wonder whether Tony Blair or Olmert had been treated the same way. Dr.Mahathir, the one time Prime Minister of Malaysia told us how the American made him remove his shoes at an American airport. He was traveling on diplomatic passport mind you to a country that Malaysia has diplomatic relation.

On the other hand when an American head of state visited an Asian country every care was taken to ensure his comfort and safety. George Bush visited Bankok and Indonesia. Roads were closed and thousand of policemen were stationed in the area he stayed because so many people wanted to kill him. Al Gore also visited Malaysia. We gave him one whole block of the Mandarin Hotel for his comfort and safety. Anti aircraft guns were placed on the roof so that nobody would bomb the hotel. An Asian head of state visiting USA would never get this kind of treatment from their host
