Albania issued three postage stamps with Bush's picture and the Statue of Liberty, renamed a street in front of parliament in his honor, awarded him the highest National Flag medal, and the Fushe Kruje town council declared him an honored citizen.

That surprised me a lot more than someone taking his watch. There are people outside the U.S. who like Bush? Like something out of the Twilight Zone.

I think Bushg and America's dislike is GREATLY exaggerated by the media. Germany elected a more conservative, Bush friendly leader during Bush's tenure, and even France elected an OPENLY Pro-US leader. Something tells me that protesters aren't actually the majority representation of anything... ever... if they were THEY WOULDN'T NEED TO PROTEST!!! (Yes, I know there are polls, but they allow for a witty line at the end of a paragraph)

Albania, by the way, is a special case. In the 90's the US really pulled their fat out of the fryer during all the unrest, and saved a lot of Muslim lives. Because of this America can do no wrong in their eyes and Albania is probably our most fervent supporters. They even have muslim troops fighting along side us in Iraq.

He suddenly looks on the ground, that could mean it just fell off. Maybe a bodyguard picked it up for him.

If anyone was interested, Bush simply took off his watch and put it in his pocket.

That movie shows no opportunity for him to take off his watch.... But whatever.

Because his Houdini-like watch removal skills are much better than someone taking it off his wrist.

I mean, if a person on the street steals from the President of the US, and it's admitted to, the entire universe will implode and all.

Even if it wasn't stolen, the indirect message he sends by putting it in his pocket before shaking Albanian hands is insulting to those people.
