Bush is encountering some unprecedented resistance to his tours of Latin America. Mayan leaders in Guatemala have vowed to "spiritually cleanse" an ancient site after Bush visits. So awesome. "That a person like (Bush) with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked is going to walk in our sacred lands is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney. After countless years of oppression, sponsoring death squads and adversely influencing their elections, it looks like the chickens have come home to roost. Greg Grandin's book "Empire's Workshop" looks like a good place as any to start and learn a little about our history in Latin America.
