SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - About 25,000 protesters opposed to U.S. President George W. Bush, the war in Iraq and unfettered capitalism marched through the Chilean capital just before the American president arrived on his first trip abroad after winning a second term.
The march Friday in response to the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit was peaceful, but riot police used water cannons and tear gas earlier to break up an unauthorized demonstration by hundreds of rock-throwing protesters.
