Stark differences in opinion

In San Francisco: Waves of anti-war protesters made good on their promise to disrupt downtown San Francisco this morning, as they occupied intersections throughout the Financial District, South of Market and Civic Center, preventing buses and cars from navigating the streets.

In Kansas City area: In a billiard room at Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille in Overland Park, Bush's face filled a wall, and his voice held the rapt attention of dozens. When he finished, the room was filled with whistles and cheers, and with the sound of pool cues clunking the floor in approval. Before the bombs hit, a buzz filled the Other Place bar and grill in Overland Park as revelers watched the NIT basketball tournament. Then CBS' Dan Rather broke in to announce Bush's speech. The tavern fell silent. After the speech, the crowd broke into chants of "U.S.A."
