Yesterday, U.S. President George W. Bush arrived in Rome for a three-day stay. The security and complications surrounding his visit will effectively shut down parts of the Eterna and will leave Romans sitting in huge traffic jams or trekking long distances through the city on foot.
As demonstrated by the photo above, the President’s arrival was greeted with the usual good will and fanfare. U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice, an organization with a noble mission, joined with Italian activists and international friends, to denounce the countless crimes of the Bush regime, from the destruction of the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, to torture and illegal detention, to intelligence fixing and threats of attacks against Iran.
They made a symbolic citizen’s arrest of Bush, Cheney and Rice (see above), leading them from Piazza della Repubblica to Piazza Barberini in chains.
