Evo’s tour of the U.S. bypasses White House

Bolivian president Evo Morales (image via Argenpress) started a three country tour on Tuesday by visiting Guatemala and talking with indigenous rights groups. Later this week he will travel to Cuba for the summit by the Nonaligned Movement and next week he will be in New York for the U.N. General Assembly meetings. Morales has expressed his disappointment in not being invited to the White House where he would tell President Bush “some truths about human rights, (and) about social and economic problems.”
