2. Maybe we can protest Bu$hco more creatively in Mexico.

Just think: Mexican protest vacations! We could meetup with these fine folks. I like the big, scary puppet head.

3. Some traditional Mexican Easter commemorations have "Judas"...

Figures. Large, papier mache effigies that are carried in processessions, then burned or destroyed with fire crackers.

Mexican protestors long ago adopted the idea to make caricatures to carry in parades.

4. Good luck getting back into the U.S. after your protest,

the SS will be watching for you. Unless of course your wearing a sombrero and are toting a bushel of jalapeno peppers, then you are more than welcome here.

5. That picture would land you in jail for life in the 'free' USA.

It would be taken as a terrorist threat, and you would be bound, beaten, and sent to Gitmo.

Humanitarian organizations protests during Rice visit in Mexico

Different organizations demonstrated Thursday on the streets of Mexico City, against the visit of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who was accused of promoting war and human rights violations.

The police said that the protests were not numerous and took place in four different points of the capital, without serious incidents.

...As part of the protests, Amnesty International called on the Mexican government to say to Rice "it is necessary to respect and strengthen the multilateral system as a must to guarantee for the respect of human rights worldwide."

The organization stood outside the Embassy of the United States carrying banners and denounced its concern over "the role of Rice in the deterioration of fundamental guarantees and the increase of violence around the world." T Tuesday.
