Wow! The FT said that the Summit was "marred" by our protests. I'll have to keep this quote handy the next time I run across some dimwit who says that these protests don't accomplish anything.
At least we got Bush to admit that he doesn't like speaking "Mexican".
I also hear that on Saturday they closed down the kitchen at that was feeding the Summit because of the tear gas. Apparently they had to fly in cold sandwiches from a nearby town via helicopter.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
