By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA Associated Press Writer
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.
Bush's seven-day tour of Latin America includes a stopover beginning late Sunday in Guatemala. On Monday morning he is scheduled to visit the archaeological site Iximche on the high western plateau in a region of the Central American country populated mostly by Mayans.
Tiney said the "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace. He also said the rites _ which entail chanting and burning incense, herbs and candles _ would prepare the site for the third summit of Latin American Indians March 26-30.
Bush's trip has already has sparked protests elsewhere in Latin America, including protests and clashes with police in Brazil hours before his arrival. In Bogota, Colombia, which Bush will visit on Sunday, 200 masked students battled 300 riot police with rocks and small homemade explosives.
The tour is aimed at challenging a widespread perception that the United States has neglected the region and at combatting the rising influence of Venezuelan leftist President Hugo Chavez, who has called Bush "history's greatest killer" and "the devil."
Iximche, 30 miles west of the capital of Guatemala City, was founded as the capital of the Kaqchiqueles kingdom before the Spanish conquest in 1524.

I'll bet you guys are just jealous.
Green with jealous jealous envy.
I love those ads for Citgo that talk about how the Venezuela oil giant is sending heating oil to America at deep discounts for poor people.
I'm no commie mind you, and I think Chavez is full of it, but I find it hysterical that; one, hes doing this for the sole purpose of making Bush look bad and two, its working.
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
IT does if he's adressing someone named 'of spanish'.
But you don't have to be a commie to know he's telling the truth at least.
History's greatest killer
hahahaha
Those people are stupid.
Chaves is stupid,
Or even Jackson for the trail of tears bullshit
It's gotta be Bush
he's way behind hitler and stalin.
but 65,000 - 100,000 dead civis ain't nothing to sneeze at.

He still isn't history's greatest killer
Yeah but they are dead, Bush is here. And for what its worth I don't think Jackson should be on the 20 for that very reason, but thats just me.

only extremes register with the american public?
here is one.... WORST american president.
that sit with you?
So if you discount all the deaths tied to World War 2, then he is at least in the running.
He sort of sucked.
How about the wurst president? The one who liked sausages the most. My vote is Taft.
david duke did though.
Let me bow out before you light the defender signal
Warren G Harding.
isn't trivializing 100,000 dead a worthless and petty argument?
Harding didn't DO anything.
Everything Bush has touched has become an outright failure. Bush is the worst President ever.
The worst since Andrew Johnson.

They aren't white, Christian, or capable of making a mean beaded rug.. so why would Americans care if they die?
it made sense until wookiee edited his post to say "descent" instead of "decent".
Damn the edit feature.
lies and slander.
you're trying to cover up yellow cake.
On behalf of my ancestors I would like to apologize for the half ass job. Siestas and all get in the way.
oops i mean they were really nice people and we should shed a tear for them boohoo
