Like the author, I've been thinking about what it means to be an American travelling in a majority muslim country -- in the case of Indonesia, the largest muslim country in the world, to be precise. One of the phrases I picked up from my phrasebook in Indonesian was "...but I didn't vote for Bush." People have generally been very interested and welcoming when they learn that we're Americans -- largely, I think, because we are such rare visitors to this country. But they've also been interested in our take on Bush, terrorism -- particularly in Bali -- and religion. I thought I'd pass on this article partly as a way to bookmark it for myself, and as a way to start thinking about what it means to be a responsible ambassador of the complicated country I call home.
