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.

Yes, George, what a great idea your ONE AMERICA agenda is...we just keep seeing how great it is...
There are probably 2 million adherents to TROP in South America..
I think anyone waving an Osama Bin Laden picture should be immediately dispatched.
Well, we know the Argentine Left and Osama are on the same side.
Any information on whether or not Cindy Sheehan was holding a poster?
In Bueno Aires if you don't prepay your meals inflation will drive the price up 5% when you get the bill.
Didn't Trinidad have a Muslim problem, riots and all?
Scratch that destination from any travel plans.
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.
Protestors must be on vacation from their native FRANCE.
He isnt the first POTUS to have that idea...remember the Monroe Doctrine?
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.
He isnt the first POTUS to have that idea...remember the Monroe Doctrine?

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!! :-)
In other words, they have the same kind of leftist scum we see here...
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...
In '97?
