New Delhi: Cartoons, poems, T-shirts, paintings, even Bollywood one-liners - everything will turn into anti-Bush arsenal when thousands take to the streets here Thursday to oppose a US president they say is a "war criminal".
And the Indian communists, spearheading what they claim could be the biggest anti-American demonstration the city has seen, have warned of a "free for all" if the authorities try to clamp down on the planned show of strength against George W. Bush.
"We are not going to create law and order problems," said Joginder Sharma, who heads the Delhi unit of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), which backs India's coalition government but is cut up with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his perceived closeness to Washington.
"Ours is going to be a peaceful protest march from the Ramlila ground (in the heart of the city) to Parliament Street (five kilometres away). But if we are forcibly stopped, it will become a free for all."
The police are in a fix. They do not want the demonstrators, who could number tens of thousands, to march up to Parliament Street. They want the procession to take a detour, but the organisers are not listening.

Same old crap.
Ahhha, Chinese and Russian backed anti-Bush protests.
"Bush is not welcome to India"
Then who is? The Chinese? or the Russians?? I suppose you want to lose democracy in India, and replace the leader with a communist dictator.
This is directed to the man in the story, not at you.
Lots of moose there too.
The rabid dogs are barking wildly....this is the only time when the muzzies and the communists in India actually get some international attentin. The rest 80% of India is waiting for Pres. Bush's visit....from what friends and family tell me, the entire country (barring the muslim-dominated city of Hyderabad) is in a celebratory mood.
After all, Pres. Bush is the most popular US president EVER in India. Most Indians recognize the warn feelings the president has for India and her people.
I was thinking that we can buy all of India's Russian built equipment and replace it with US/NATO standard equipment.
If Communism were a man, he'd be a war criminal.
I read your post on another thread on this very topic...very informative. BTW, I agree with your thoughts on the military ties between both democracies.
