Columbia Basin Herald: Thousands of Demonstrators Hit NYC Streets

Columbia Basin Herald: "NEW YORK - Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the fortified streets of Manhattan on Sunday to protest President Bush's foreign and domestic policies as Republican delegates gathered to nominate the president for a second term.

A day ahead of the start of the Republican National Convention, protesters gathered 20 blocks south of the convention site. 'The majority of this country wants the Bush administration out of office,' filmmaker and Bush critic Michael Moore told the crowd.

Meanwhile, Bush suggested in an interview with Time magazine that he still would have gone into Iraq but with different tactics if he had known 'that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another day.'"
