Friday, November 04, 2005 Argentinean Can of Whoop Ass for Bush EuropeanTribune: "On Nov 4-5, Bush will attend the Summit of the Americas in Argentina. This is a translation of an astounding letter sent to Bush by an Argentinean Member of Parliament: I am 1 of the 257 reps in Parliament, but I can guarantee that what I will be expressing to you in this letter represents the majority of the Argentinean people. Pres Bush, We do not want you to come to our country. Maybe for diplomatic reasons, our Chancery has not made you aware of how reviled you are by our people... you represent a danger to the democracies of S America. The people do not want you, Mr Bush, because you represent neoimperialism, which like in the 19th century is an attempt to dominate regions by means of financial measures or armies' actions." It appears that the GuardianUK sees the big, bad picture for Bush, too: "Bush left his problems at home only to find himself flying into a whole new world of hurt in Argentina, where 10s of 1000s of protesters, led by the football star and broadcaster Diego Maradona, are due to greet the pres in a "say no to Bush" march." Thanks for spreading joy and goodwill around the world Prez. And I'm sure we can count on you being a complete embarassment while you're there. My hope is that Hugo Chavez will walk right up to you and kick you dead square in the 'nads. |
