democracy against Bush


* the million-dollar-question for the day is how/whether the media will cover the protests in india:
"About 100,000 Muslim men gathered in a public ground in the heart of New Delhi shouting anti-Bush slogans.
"Go back, Bush", "Bush is a killer", "Bully Bush, buzz off", "Bush, stop the ambush", they shouted as hundreds of police in riot gear kept watch." (link)
(WaPo is carrying an AP article)

the main meme of the day seems to be that the protesters are "muslims and communists"

i can't easily lay my hands on any photos of the sea of people in the square in Delhi. remember how much we loved those scenes of democracy in lebanon and ukraine etc?
