If you would take the time to see how we have ruined this country you might have some sympathy for these humans.
We have done very many evil things to this nation.

they need the money because of our constant destruction of thier elected Governments.....
Its all in the history books.
we have done them wrong & even those men involved have admitted it.

Yeah, maybe it is time to stop doing all the good things that we do. Good things such as abridging their right to self-government, keeping in place high tariff's against their agriculturial imports ( to save those slacker farmers in the mid west)and allowing Amerikan agro-businesses to rape their country.
I think that would go down well there

Didn't GWB just make a big speech about how "generous" the American people are and how we need to give even more to the region?
Sounds like you are in direct policy conflict with the President on this one...

yeah. screw any country that isn't America. how can they not see all the wonderful things the USA does for them.
like:
-rape their countries of natural resources
-allow companies that produce primarily for the US market to go into these countries to exploit cheap labour and lax environmental policies (we live in a global market, it's time to have global business standards)
-help facilitate political or military coups anytime a leader is elected that isn't 100% pro-USA (because who cares what's good for their country as long as the US gets what it wants)
-use threats of trade sanctions any time legislation is passed that the American administration doesn't approve of to bully the country into abandoning said legislation.
America acts like a spoiled playground bully, and needs to realize the day when the world turns its back on the US is coming quickly (if you haven't noticed, a lot of America's trade partners have been strengthening ties with China and other countries)

Hey queefasauras, bush does not represent "Americans", even abroad. Americans are the face of America not our anti-christ president, and we're actually lucky for that.

yeah. it is lucky. the Bush admins lies and manipulations would never stand up to any serious inquiry. luckily he's surrounded himself with yes men and has the 'news' media kow-towing to his whims.
you know, the liberal controlled media... that hasn't made any sort of strongly liberal statement in.. well, almost 8 years.
i mean, good lord, if they can't even be organized enough to pull the puppet strings on the media, which we all know they control, think of what they would do with the presidency.
wait, what? the majority of media outlets are owned by staunch conservative supporters.. oh. nevermind then.

HELP What???
Help them suffer more?
Or help them to surrender to the Will of the American Government.
Please explain how further bad blood will "help" anything?

it's easy. a lot of people who consider themselves to be 'good' christians, catholics, muslims, jews or whatever, are very selective in what parts of their religious texts they accept and how they interpret them. if it goes against their worldview it's ignored.
being a good person and being a 'good' christian are hardly ever the same thing.

Hmmmm, I wonder what they'll use to cleanse that site. Sulfur is very hard to clean. Maybe they can use some CITGO gas as a solvent

"It's very important for the people of South America and Central America to know that the United States cares deeply about the human condition, and that much of our aid is aimed at helping people realize their God-given potential," Bush said Sunday in Bogota, Colombia.
Now get back to work.

Lysol or clorox bleach should eradicate any germs left behind. I feel empathy for the Mayans. Who ever has to clean up after this sorry excuse has a task.

Ooops, I meant to give this post a negative rating. Psychos in the mid east huh? Is it crazy for a people, who feels like their holy place has been desecreted to cleanse it? You know, according to Chavez and Bush's own actions, he is the devil.
White people. When ever non-whites do or behave in a way that you guys don't understand, like or approve you say they are silly or crazy or evangelistically speaking demon possesed

yeah. who doesn't hate those people with brown skin that don't worship jesus. how dare they immigrate to a country that was founded by immigrants.
degraded how? violence? most violence is a result of poverty. there are poor families who've lived in the US for generations as well as F.O.B's.
they're 'taking our jobs'? maybe the minimum wage ones. but a lot of immigrants are doctors or professors, or come from other 'professional' backgrounds and end up pushing a mop and bucket in america.
you're confronted by languages you don't understand? deal with it. even if they can only speak broken english, chances are that's one more language than you can speak.

This really shows just how far world opinion of our nation has fallen since Bush has taken over.
Its not really a matter of who is doing what to 'cleanse' its that they are doing it in the first place. That they view our President as such a source of evil that people feel that they have to do this.
Its a true shame that in the world, so few respect us or our nation, or our elected leader anymore.

'Why do you suppose they come here?' umm... folly?
and unfortunately you're right about their governments. HOWEVER, most of those countries are so corrupt that anytime a leader is elected that actually wants to help the poor they're either assasinated or forced out in a coup. coups that are usually covertly supported by the US.

burning witches. but that was hardly backwards. it was necessary. if they burned to death, then we knew they actually WEREN'T witches, and were now in heaven. if they didn't burn to death they were demons. and wouldn't you want to know who was or wasn't a demon?
wait... i think i just figured out how we could figure out whether or not Bush is evil.

1basque1 & mamasan are right. there isn't enough sage or incense in the world to cleanse the way after the passage of bush & co.
