Bush Visit Sparks Protests Email Print

Violence broke out in Argentina this afternoon as more than 1000 protesters demonstrated against the Bush visit, interrupting the Summit of the Americas.

Calling Bush a fascist, and shouting "Down with Free Trade," they ignited fireworks, burned a bank, broke windows, and hurled tear gas, as 10-20 businesses were destroyed.

Bush returned to his hotel, but the Summit still plans to hold a plenary session.

Story is still uh, "breaking," even after two hours.
