Better yet, maybe some folks there who are thinking like you can form a Westboro-style protest group to picket the memorial service and wreath-laying ceremony for the 11 folks who lost their lives in that 1998 embassy bombing.

Tanzania Ignores Arrest Call for George W. Bush
2011: Tanzania welcomed visiting former U.S. President George W. Bush and his wife Laura Thursday, ignoring a call by Amnesty International to arrest him for U.S. torture of suspected terrorists during his term.
Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete received the couple in the capital, Dar es Salaam, and thanked Bush for supporting the African country's campaign to curb AIDS and HIV infection.
"With people of goodwill like you, Mr. President, I believe, together we shall fight and win the war against HIV/AIDS and achieve our target of an HIV-free generation in half a decade," said Kikwete, according to AFP.
Kikwete was referring to the U.S. Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief that Bush initiated and the Obama administration continues to support.

When I was in Kenya and Tanzania and mentioned Bush, several folks were quick to mention that while they disagreed with much of his policies, they were grateful for this.
