Out of the bubble and off to India

note to the good folks there on the indian sub-continent - yeah, we're kind of fond of him here too...
Tens of thousands of Indians waving black and white flags and chanting "Death to Bush!" rallied Wednesday in New Delhi to protest a visit by President Bush.

Surindra Singh Yadav, a senior police officer in charge of crowd control, said as many as 100,000 people, most of them Muslim, had gathered in a fairground in central New Delhi ordinarily used for political rallies.

"Whether Hindu or Muslim, the people of India have gathered here to show our anger. We have only one message — killer Bush go home," one of the speakers, Hindu politician Raj Babbar, told the crowd.

and today is the day he's supposed to lay a memorial wreath in honor of gandhi... i doubt if he will be fooling anybody there... the u.s...? well, that's another story...

p.s. there's a lot of anti-bush graffiti here in buenos aires... i wish my camera wasn't broken... i'd really like to post a few pics...
