President Bush is currently visiting several Central and South American countries. At almost every country he visits there are massive demonstrations, some turning violent, like in Brazil. Some protests went as far as burning US flags that were emblazoned with swastikas.
My question is what precisely are they demonstrating against? I have not been able to find any particular message that they want to convey here. Most of their signs say something along the lines of “Bush go home.” Also, why is there so much resentment of the USA in Latin America? I understand the US has manipulated some Latin American governments in the past with the CIA, but I don’t know to what extent. Is this a part of, or all of the anger seen in the last few days?
I think I’m missing what’s really driving their anger here, so I hope someone can help me fill in the blanks. Serious responses ONLY please. If you’re going to say something like “Bu$h wantz all teh oils!!1111” then don’t bother answering.
