After they've cleansed their sacred site in Guatemala, maybe they can help us clean things up here:
Mayan Indian leaders have vowed to "spiritually cleanse" an ancient site in Guatemala after U.S. President George W. Bush visits during his seven-day, five-nation tour of Latin America...
Mayan priests say they will purify the sacred archaeological site to rid it of any "bad spirits" after Bush is there.
"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, director of a Mayan non-governmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, told The Associated Press.
The president is working to shore up U.S. allies amid the widespread perception that his administration has neglected Latin America since the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
"Perception?" More like reality. But then again, this administration has pretty much ignored everything except their own gaping, mawing pieholes.
