- "U.S.
Pushed Allies on Iraq, Diplomat Writes: Chilean Envoy
to U.N. [United Nations] Recounts Threats of Retaliation in Run-Up to Invasion."
... "In the months leading up to the U.S.[United States]-led invasion of
Iraq, the [Republican President] Bush administration threatened trade reprisals
against friendly countries who withheld their support, spied on its allies,
and pressed for the recall of U.N. envoys that resisted U.S. pressure to
endorse the war, according to an upcoming book by a top Chilean diplomat."
... "The rough-and-tumble diplomatic strategy has generated lasting "bitterness"
and "deep mistrust" in Washington's relations with allies in Europe, Latin
America and elsewhere, Heraldo Muñoz, Chile's ambassador to the
United Nations, writes in his book "A Solitary War: A Diplomat's Chronicle
of the Iraq War and Its Lessons," set for publication next month." ...
""In the aftermath of the invasion, allies loyal to the United States were
rejected, mocked and even punished" for their refusal to back a U.N. resolution
authorizing military action against Saddam Hussein's government, Muñoz
writes. " -By Colum Lynch

- "Summit
Protests Turn Violent in Argentina." ... "More than
1,000 demonstrators angry about President Bush's policies clashed with
police, shattered storefronts and torched businesses Friday, marring the
inauguration of the Summit of the Americas as leaders began debating creation
of one of the world's largest free trade zones." ... "The chaos reflected
the often violent, worldwide debate on free trade as the United States
and Mexico pushed to relaunch talks on a zone stretching from Canada to
Chile. Past summits on the issue _ including last year's gathering of Asian-Pacific
leaders in Chile _ have drawn bitter opposition and similarly angry protests."

lobbies Security Council for support of US stance on Iraq."
... "Usually reluctant to step into the fray, Japan's leaders are working
the phones to persuade the UN Security Council to back the United States
on Iraq." ... "In the past few days, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has
called five of the six undecided council members - Pakistan, Chile, Guinea,
Cameroon, and Mexico - to urge them to support Washington. He's also warned
that a divided Security Council could undermine the United Nations' authority,
officials say." -By Kenji Hall
