JAKARTA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush was told Monday to get prepared for a hostile welcome from the Indonesian people during his second visit to the world's most populous Muslim nation.

    "Many people in this country are opposed to your visit here today because of some of your policies, most notably on Iraq and on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and they have made their feelings known by taking to the streets in recent weeks," leading English newspaper The Jakarta Post said in its editorial.

    The editorial, titled "Letter to Bush", also said "you must be used to these kinds of protests and criticisms. You probably know too that you're not exactly the most-loved American leader today."

    Bush, who first visited the country in 2003, is slated to land at the military airport in Jakarta later in the day before meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the Bogor state palace just south of the capital.

    The rising anti-American sentiments in many countries around the world, not just Indonesia, are "partly due to some of your policies, rather than simply an outright loathing of anything American," said the newspaper.

    "Remove these policies and the world will love America and all it represents once more."
