Even Bush was getting into the act:

Bush Comes to Aid of Secret Service Agent
http://www.newsday.com/news/po...-ap-politics-headlines

SANTIAGO, Chile -- President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.

Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. Bush noticed the fracas after posing for pictures on a red carpet with the summit host, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife and first lady Laura Bush.

Abandoning the other three, Bush walked over to the agents, reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum.

The president, looking irritated, walked away with the agent. The incident was shown on APEC television.

"Chilean security tried to stop the president's Secret Service from accompanying him," said White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan. "He told them they were with him and the issue was resolved."

Although these people are not doing themselves much good, if any people have the right to burn the American flag, it's the people of Chile. 9/11 has quite a different meaning for them.

If we have that right, they certainly should.

Do some reading up on US actions in South America before you get on your high horse. 😉

I'll give you the crib notes.

Pinochet was placed and maintained in power by the CIA. He killed over 5000 Chileans under his rule.

Yeah, what were you saying about aid? Do you guys pay them enough to make up for that?

I'm simply saying that just because we send them aid, they can't burn our flag is poor logic. It was not meant to take into account our actions there. 🙂

If (they burn American flag on the street => Chile; we lost Latin America) then we've lost North America too

It was a little over 3,000, with a little over 1,000 of them being disappeared. Anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 were arbitrarily imprisoned and tortured repeatedly.

And for those who wants to know a little bit about Chile, start by looking at their 9/11.
