A New Day in Way I Wasn't Expecting.

I haven't yet found a quote that denotes Chirac crying in his vichyssois, but I got a nice surprise this morning. Putin is quoted by reuters thusly:

"I can only feel joy that the American people did not allow itself to be intimidated, and made the most sensible decision," (via yahoo)

Amazing candor from a Russian head of state.

There are also some nice plain quotes in that article from Berlusconi and Kwasniewski. Needless to say, terrorist sympathisers are not happy with the outcome. That much I was expecting.
