Diego Maradona has charged George W Bush as being ‘human garbage’ during anti-American protests in Argentina in the wake of the President’s tour of the continent. “For me I repudiate this human garbage, who is Bush,” he said, at a massive demonstration in Buenos Aires, Argentina [CNN ]. And in the past hour demonstrators have fought pitched battles with police as the protests descend into violence. Live coverage on CNN showed scenes of chaos with fires having been started and water cannon being used against the protesters near the Americas Summit. George Bush’s popularity is not going well at home either, after a poll showed an approval rating of 35%. Many policies have affected his popularity including the rising death toll in Iraq [now 2,039 US military personnel] as well as failed plans for relief following devastating hurricanes that have hit southern states this year.
