Other than this being for President Bush, how is this any different from any other time a World Leader visits anyplace? If the Pope goes to Guatamala (or anywhere else), isn't there tight security with streets shut down, etc.? If Chavez or Castro visited, wouldn't there be similar distruptions and inconveniences?
Other than a rant about how the OP was a little inconvenienced and politics, what's this about? Whenever a dignitary comes to Chicago, I have to deal with the same issues, minus the politics. It sucks at times, but the people who occupy certain offices in world have security requirements. If the King of Spain comes to visit, most of the same street closures, etc. would happen. Sorry that you had to take a few minutes out of your day for someone else to make sure that another human being wasn't going to be blown up.
