Bush Faces New Troubles--Bush visit sparks anger

--on the Home Page of AOL, no less----of course the article itself isn't the greatest, but a pic of the demonstrators already gearing up is eye candy.

Protests Await Bush at Summit in Argentina
Battle Looms Over Free Trade at Latin American Meeting (from AP)


MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (Nov. 4) - Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, emboldened by thousands of anti-American protesters, is getting a rare chance to stand up to his adversary, George W. Bush, with promises to keep the president from reviving talks on a free trade area stretching from Alaska to Argentina.

Cuba, Venezuela's closest ally, is banned from participating in the summit. But Cuban Foreign Minister Ricardo Alarcon showed up in Mar del Plata anyway.

He mocked the process, telling Associated Press Television News: "They are going to take a good photo with Bush, have lunch, eat dinner, and gab some more. What is happening over there is a plan that does no good for the people of the Americas."
