I spoke with a few friends in Brazil over the weekend. They say that in general, the protests have been small, and appears mostly to be organized by Chavista groups in South America. The friends don't particularly care about Bush, but they say that the general Brazilian population hate these particular protestors because they are the typical leftist/student groups that tend to thrive in the universities (same stuff here in the US). The general population is more upset with local politics than with Pres. Bush himself. They don't understand why people don't protest current domestic policies which are more important to them, than what Pres. Bush is doing. I remember when Clinton went to Greece during the Serbia/Kosovo conflict. The South Americans have nothing compared to what Clinton encountered in Greece.

Well, Che is a staple at ultra- lib protests, as stoned hippies who have no idea what Che Guevara actually did wave around posters of his face.

I noticed that, while Fox indicated that the demonstrations were mostly pro-Bush, they only aired the nutbags.

How is this different from any other trip that our American presidents take. We could see this in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, anywhere it is the same old, same old, and still we just keep on shoveling money to them. I am sick and tired of paying for the basic needs of these people when their own governments don't give a damn whether they live or not, why should the American taxpayer? What do we get in return other than their undying hate? Why can't our government find any deserving AMERICAN poor to help?

I don't understand these people. Why destroy the buildings and churches? What good does that do.

As for the chicks with stickers on their breasts, do they not realize these stickers have to come off eventually? Breasts are very sensitive parts of the body. Odd people just odd.

I know: a few billion here or there; pretty soon you're talking about real money. The problem is: it is real, and it's ours and it is being squandered on institutionally corrupt governments who siphon off as much as they want without effective oversight, and then turn around and accuse the US of being the evil source of all the world's problems.

If that's the way they want it, then **** 'em. I say, let's cut off all foreign aid right now - and tell all the yapping little Chihuahuas, and the half-pint tinpot Generalissimos with the bad mustaches to go piss up a rope.

A real protester would have placed the Bush stickers lower.

"Sign me tired of sending money to people who dont appreciate it."

Me too, but our compassionate leader will be doubling aid and providing health care for them to boot.

So, do any of you Freepers plan to spend your hard earned dollars vacationing in any of these countries? /sarc

There won't be any money left. Haven't you heard, Bush took the US check book with him, and he's been writing huge checks in every country he has visited. Has it done any good for America? NO!! It NEVER will. They hate us! They always have, and they always will. Jealousy is a terrible thing. So is stupidity. Someone should tell elPresidente Jorge Booosh!
