guess the Chilean president thinks terrorism only happens to Americans? or to American presidents? haven't they ever had any 'heavy' world leaders there? I'm sure similar procedures would be in place for Blair or Alawi or even Ole Euro's like Chirac and Schroeder.

"....On Saturday night, Chilean security barred
Bush's bodyguards from accompanying
the president into a dinner for Asia-Pacific
leaders. As a pushing and shoving match
ensued, Bush strode over to the melee,
reached into the group and pulled
mustachioed agent Nick Trotta out by the
lapel...

...Trotta has been taking good-natured
ribbing for having to be rescued by the
man he's charged with protecting."

All you can do is try to reason with these morons.

Bush stuck his hand out.

If they won't take it, fine!

This will be repeated all over the planet for as long as it takes the rest of the world to get used to the end of the cold war and one dominant power.

I do not expect them to ever get used to it.

Good find, Wiz.

Security is high in Chile, for good reason. Check out this picture of Laura Bush departing her transportation and probably about 10% of her accompanying security.
