Mexicans tell Bush "Go to hell"

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City was the latest scene where hundreds of demonstrators gathered around on Tuesday to protest the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush, and ended up attacking the riot police with concrete blocks, metal bars and tearing down barricades.
Mexican police responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and baton charges, throwing back rocks and clubbing demonstrators down. Several protesters were arrested or injured, one with blood pouring from his head.
The demonstrators burned U.S. flags and waved banners with slogans against the U.S. president such as, "Bush you are not welcome in Mexico. Go to Hell."
The vast majority of Mexicans oppose the war in Iraq and many also blame Bush for tough anti-immigration policies.
"We are in disagreement with the war policy," of Bush, said craftswoman Guadalupe Fernandez, 64, who was marching but not involved in the violence.
A group of about 30 masked protesters clad in black led the attack on the thick lines of riot police defending the U.S. Embassy.
When police fired tear gas and charged, the protesters scattered in all directions.
Lorenzo Fernandez, the commanding officer at the scene, said the police were only defending themselves.
"These are people who don't know how to demonstrate pacifically," Fernandez said.
In Merida, a southeastern city where Bush is meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, about 100 protesters marched to his hotel for the second night in a row carrying Mexican flags and calling the U.S. president a "murderer."
Bush was having dinner with Calderon away from his hotel.

He doesn't care. He has an agenda to push and he's going to keep pushing it. I wonder what would happen if there were a 3 future generation requirement for politicians at the Federal level, that would require them to live in the CONUS through all 3 cycles. I'm not sure there'd be any takers. I even suspect some would object to even a single generation. Maybe even those currently at the so-called highest level of the government. Of course international travel could be arranged as part of the terms. Maybe 4 weeks out of a year max, which proof of location the other 48 weeks :)
Howdy!
