"Bolivia's President Halts Controversial Gas Project"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21261-2003Oct13.html

From today's Washington Post:

<snip>
Bolivia's president suspended on Monday a project to export natural gas through Chile to the United States, hoping to defuse weeks of widening anti-government protests in which about 50 people have been killed...

In a televised address, Sanchez de Lozada, a U.S. ally in the anti-drug war, refused to step down... Many Bolivians feared the proposal would not benefit the broad population.
</snip>

Hurray for the people!

These people have very little to fight with, and give their lives to stop the abasement of their country.
