Mayan priests in Guatemala plan to spritually cleanse a sacred archeological site of bad spirits following a visit from U.S. President George W. Bush, according to this CNN story.

…Many Mayans are angry that Bush is visiting Iximche, founded as the capital of the Kaqchiqueles kingdom before the Spanish conquest in 1524.

“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.

This is only marginally better than if Guatemala had turned out the lights and pretended they weren’t home.
