VIDEO | Kelpie Wilson: Bush Gets Dinner While Protesters Fast


http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/092607B.shtml

Truthout's Kelpie Wilson writes: "More than 80 heads of state
met at the UN on Monday to discuss the launch of post-Kyoto
climate negotiations. Although this was the most high-level
UN meeting yet held on the global climate emergency,
President Bush refused to attend. He did, however, assent to
an invitation from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to attend
a private dinner afterward.... While Bush was eating his dinner
with Ban ki-Moon, a half-dozen American climate change
activists continued a weeks-long fast to protest American
inaction on climate, 'so that others might eat.'"
