Mayas to cleanse site after Bush

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6440639.stm

<snip>
Maya leaders have said they will perform a ceremony after US President George W Bush visits an ancient site during his trip to Guatemala.

Mr Bush is due at the Mayan ruins of Iximche, some 80kms west of the capital, Guatemala City, on Monday.

His arrival brings him to the fourth nation in a five-state tour of the Latin American region.

But Maya leaders said they will have to perform a special cleansing ceremony to clear bad energy left by his visit.

"No, Mr Bush, you cannot trample and degrade the memory of our ancestors," indigenous leader Rodolfo Pocop said, adding, "This is not your ranch in Texas."

3. Never in history have I seen so many

people cleanse sites aftr a US President visits them. I think there is a collective feeling on the planet that Bush is evil. The last pope did call him the anti-Christ.

Feel the love :D

4. This was even mentioned on The Today Show this morning! They also showed protestors

holding a long large banner of Bush as Hitler!

I wonder if the show is going to receive a call from Rove today?
