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 goverment has not the support of us gov, it's realy 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
Masive movilizations allready are taking place in all around the country.
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?
I hope it remains peaceful and nobody gets hurt. |

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.

What a wonderful idea: letting a country deal with its leader on its own terms. Amen to that.

"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!  |

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 wont be resolved, it will only put the American troops on their soil - because dont 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

Intelligent..! "Hippies" indeed. What an solid argument against freedom of expression (thinking more the banners than the bombs, needless to say).

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.
