Among the images on Yahoo! News:

I lead off from London, with our first Picture of the Day:



Now for some links:

And now, back to our regular programming:)

Our inferiors in Toronto, eh?

An American "flag" with possibly fifteen stripes and perhaps more than forty stars burned in Mexico City.

(We'll be right back, after these words:



When I grow up, I want to be a bloodthirsty criminal tyrant -- JUST LIKE SADDAM HUSSEIN!

This message brought to you by International A.N.S.W.E.R., your friendly neighborhood Communists.

And now back to More Stupid Protester Tricks!)

Hooray for Saddam in chicken Kiev!

Another Canadian loves us!

The Devil in Moscow;

In Johannesburg, a wary Osama bin Laden pleads, stop the war!

More Stalinism in New York;

A dialogue in Rome:

Gray-haired guy: "The Hungarians!"

Some friends in Cairo;

From Paris again: How original.

Menatime, some of their friends burn an American "flag"! Or an unreasonable facsimile thereof.


But there were a few good guys, like these (Scottish Iraqis meeting with Tony Blair).

And here's one: a group of Iraqi counter-protesters -- in my Philadelphia! Hooraaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

And finally, whatever else happens, again from London, our third Picture of the Day:



With enemies like these, who needs friends?

A FOOTNOTE: Yesterday I came across a worn forgotten book by the late forgotten CBS newsman Charles Kuralt, he of the many roads and equally well-travelled mistress, who looked like Don Wilson (or Elmer Fudd) and spoke in a voice like an out-of-tune tuba, and I recalled that when the Gulf War started Oliver Stone and Co. marched live on TV, and you could tell just from his loose embouchure that the Sex Machine of the Highway was aching to get out there and join them in protesting an unjust, ignoble war. One wonders how many cul-de-sacs Charley's encountered on the road to eternity.
