Bush's Latin America tour draws protests

Tweet

SAO PAULO - Thousands of protesters marched through Brazil's largest city on Thursday calling President Bush a warmonger and planet polluter as he started a tour aimed at winning friends in Latin America. "No. 1 Enemy of Humanity" and "Get out Bush!" read signs carried by workers, students, peasants and other activists. To the beat of Afro-Brazilian drums, they demanded an end to the war in Iraq and what they called state-sponsored torture, U.S. imperialism and growing economic inequality.
