Protesters Greet Bush In Santiago
SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 19 -- In his first overseas trip since his reelection, President Bush arrived in Chile on Friday to use what he calls his "new capital" to press the 21 nations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to help with North Korea, terrorism and opening up regional trade.
But Bush's Latin American trip sparked a violent backlash before he arrived. Chilean police in armored vehicles used tear gas and water cannons during the day to break up demonstrations against U.S. policy in Iraq, Bush's presence in Chile and a summit that protesters called a rich man's club.
On the fourth day of anti-American and anti-APEC protests, a crowd estimated at 25,000 to 70,000 marched through downtown Santiago. Some hooded demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails. Many shouted chants or held signs saying "Terrorist Bush" and "Bush: Fascist, thief, murderer."

"Stupid Americans Your Turn Will Come..."
Although I can't say that all American are inherently stupid, I know that our turn will come if it hasn't already. Bush isn't just the destruction of other countries. It's the destruction of our own. Bush voters have, in a sense, abdicated their rights to their country by supporting a "rich-man" tyrannical force.

If you're not careful the Bush regime will declare you terrorists too!
Does anyone have more info on how Chile's government is dealing with Bush? Why don't gov'ts just refuse to have him? World Revolt!

I thought they would be cheering and happy due to all the Chilean soldiers and police that are working private security in Iraq.
