Nov. 16, 2005 - President George Bush stepped out of his limo amid the
spectacular fall colors of Japanese maple trees. A short walk ahead,
along the gravel drive, stood an idyllic golden pavilion set on a small
lake-Kyoto's Kinkakuji temple. In the morning sun of his first full
day in Japan, it seemed like the perfect escape from the dismal
politics of Washington. "Sun rising," said his host, Prime Minister
Junichiro Koizumi. "Sun, Japan," he explained, as he posed with
Bush for the cameras.
