EHM and the Assassination of Presidents Roldós and Torrijos in South America

  • News
  • Thread starter Burnsys
  • Start date
In summary: The American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002 is a new law that authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the ICC. This provision, dubbed the "Hague invasion clause," has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Latin American region. Many argue that this law is a blatant attempt by the Bush administration to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the ICC and dissuade them from doing so in the future. As of now, only three countries have ratified the treaty: Argentina, Romania, and the United Kingdom.

You know what I've always wondered? If a country (such as Argentina) decides that a foreign leader committed high crimes, is there ever a chance that they'd arrest him or her? (Probably not, due to the threat of an invasion.)

The problem is that if a government has not the support of us gov, it's really dificult it to came to power. and if it does, it's probable that the cia will overtrow it. and i am talking for experience here... not making asumptions, y have plenty of examples for that. unless here in latin and central america that is the rule...

Now that is really sad. I will never understand the mindset of a person who will hurt innocent people (or even risk it...nobody was injured, but you never know if someone might have unexpectedly been walking past when it happened) or destroy property as a form of protest.

There will be A national strike the day president Bush arrive against him

Bush has been denounced under the supreme court of Argentina with charges of Crimes against humainity, between others.
So, if the Argentinian supreme court has denounced him, why has Argentina invited him? I don't really understand that. Why not make it clear to him that he's not welcome by just not inviting him? Is there disagreement among high government officials about Bush?

Knowing Bush is a soccer fun, now in almost all soccer matchs you can see people with big banners with things like: "Bush you son of a $·&", "Bush go HOME" etc.
Tee hee...probably annoying if you just want to watch soccer without political commentary. I never watch soccer; I wonder if they show those parts of the crowd when they air a match in the US?

Were you aware of this:

http://www.hrw.org/press/2002/08/aspa080302.htm

U.S. President George Bush today signed into law the American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The new law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague. This provision, dubbed the "Hague invasion clause," has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands.

"Irregardless" of that, he is still the President of the United States, a title which has significance even if we disagree with who happens to hold that title. As such, the President will be defended both domestically and abroad. If we happen to impeach him, then you hippies in Argentina can do whatever you want with him, but until then he is the President and he's got his football and the finger on the button.

Yeah, that was my point...protesting that he is hurting others by hurting others doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

No, private citicenz denounced bushh in the supreme court.
Oh, okay. I just don't understand enough about Argentina's government to have realized what that meant. Thanks for clarifying.

I hope the same, couse i will be there marching.
Stay safe! :smile:

If he was only meddling in domestic policy, that would be a fair statement, but as long as he's meddling in foreign affairs, anyone affected by his policies certainly should have the right to take issue with him on it.

By killing him abroad the issue won't be resolved, it will only put the American troops on their soil - because don't forget who will be the next President after current President - the current Vice President, oh with Republican domination of the Congress and Supreme Court, as well as Argentina having oil rest assured we'll be there within 24 hours

No maybe I come off as a bit arrogant to you, but honestly - who cares about those banners? We get to read intelligently constructed arguments in New York Times as it as, with your ranting on the streets in the middle of the autumn nobody really cares - its old rhetoric by now, we heard it time and time again, and then some.

Ah a good point, however I remember his visit to Georgia where they held similar protests and someone threw a grenade at him. I thought by posting one discombobulated response I'd kill all the birds associated with this issue of attacking the foreign country's leader.

Rememeber the assassination of Austria's Franz Ferdinand? Thats how world wars start.

If you were aware that your response was discombobulated, how could you have any expectations as to its effect?

Yes, it is a shame the assassination of Bush would probably not be interpreted as the gesture of good will no doubt intended.

Hi guys Protest is today, bush came here yesterday at 20:45.
Today at 10:15 a group of people tried to enter the US embasy, they clash on the barricades, and couldn't get in.

Subway are closed becouse of fear of terrorists attacs.

There are movilizations in almos every state of the country.


In MDP the city where is taking place the summit, also is taking place the "People Summit" headed by chavez, Maradone, Peace nobel price "Perez esquivel" and others, a lot of people think this "Summit of the people" is a strategy to keep the people away from the summit and so avoid incidents.

There are almost 60.000 people in MDP protesting against bush..

At 5PM we expect hte most masive movilizations in MDP and here in the capital...

This is common practice whenever Bush goes abroad.

Cities that he visits are placed under virtual martial law.

I have a Turkish friend who teaches English here in the states. She was in Istanbul a few years back when Bush was there. She told me that the whole city was under a curfew, while he was there. They virtually shut down the city for his entire visit.

Of course this makes the people of other countries ever so much fonder of Americans.

He is such an embarrassment, I wish he would appoint George Voinovich VP and resign.

Well, the riots broke out, just awful. Those people ought to be ashamed of themselves. They had a chance to make an intelligent protest and they blew it. Disgraceful.

Actualy your shouldn't generalize, becouse there were 50.000 people marching peacefully, and only 100 or lees causing problems and burning stuff. Actualy when those 100 started the incidents, the rest of the people decided to leave and not be part of it.
You fall into the mass media propaganda... you should be ashamed of yourself for making your opinions only on what you see on tv.
Here are some pictures i take from the marchs you won't be shown on tv...
