Can't out do the actual story behind the picture

Bush and his wife, Laura, visited a memorial to India’s independence leader, M.K. Gandhi, standing in stocking feet for a moment of silence and wreath-laying at the site where he was cremated in 1948. Following tradition, the Bushes tossed flower petals on the cremation platform — repeating the gesture several times to make sure photographers could get the shot.


No reason Gandhi can't be treated like Martin Luther King -- a place for a photo op surplanting actual policy beliefs.
