    United States (US) President George Bush arrived in Santiago on Thursday (December 6) morning to express US support for Chile's return to civilian rule in March after 16 years of military rule. His 23-hour visit was his fourth stop on a five-nation tour in South America.

    On Wednesday (December 5) police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse more than a thousand anti-US demonstrators in Santiago.

    Youths shouting "Bush go home" and "Yanks out of Latin America" attempted to march to a hotel where the presidential entourage was to stay. The demonstrators were called out by Chile's Communist Party other leftist groups.
