Anti-Bush Protestors Wave Osama Bin Laden Pictures In Argentina
Agencia EFE ^ | Nov. 4, 2005 | Staff

Mar del Plata, Argentina, Nov 4 (EFE).- A Nobel laureate and a leftist Bolivian presidential candidate - but not, as had been promised, an Argentine soccer icon - led a march of thousands of anti-U.S. protesters through the streets of this seaside resort city Friday, hours before the inauguration of the Summit of the Americas.

Retired athlete Diego Maradona, who had vowed to lead the demonstration to "repudiate" the presence of U.S. President George W. Bush, was in town but did not join the vanguard of the marchers. The explanation provided was that the former captain of the national soccer team was too besieged by admirers to be able to walk unmolested with the throng. The main personalities at the procession's head were Evo Morales, the Socialist, and Indian, front-runner in the Bolivian presidential election set for next month, and Argentina's Adolfo Perez Esquivel, a human rights activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980. Also in the forefront of the demonstration were Argentine and other Latin American labor leaders, as well as representatives of leftist grassroots organizations from throughout the hemisphere. Many wore t-shirts with a stop sign reading "Stop Bush," or one displaying portraits of Che Guevara or Fidel Castro. A few sporting the portrait of Osama bin Laden were also in evidence.

I think anyone waving an Osama Bin Laden picture should be immediately dispatched.

In Bueno Aires if you don't prepay your meals inflation will drive the price up 5% when you get the bill.

An with Argentina's history of Nazism, who should be surprised that Nazis recognize their natural new home?

It's bad enough that Americans with any sense know this plan is a bad idea, but when the folks who actually stand to BENEFIT from the plan (at the cost of American jobs and our standard of living) don't even want it.

Well I guess that means it's officially time to burn Argentina to the ground. Or at the very lease, stop all trade and aide with them, and since they like bin laden so much, treat them as a terror state. They like bin laden so much, let's treat them like we treat bin laden.

Yes, but was it really the same? The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 was targeted at protecting the Americas from European intervention and expansion. I have not read it in a long time -- but will do so!! :-)

Hey, they waived pictures of Ho hi Minh here in the sixties.

It is only a matter of time before the anti-American crowd quits pretending in the U.S. and waives Osama signs too.

I was in Mexico City in 1997 and they were selling Osama bin Laden posters and T-shirts in the main square, the Zocolo, next to the T-shirts of Che Gueverra. So this comes as little surprise.

What a world...
