Cuban diplomat slugs US diplomat at UN meeting: "An Australian journalist I know said that the punch was thrown when the two men were outside the hall. It came from behind and felled the American, who was briefly unconscious... Unofficially, the Cuban delegates grumbled that the Americans had been pompous and obnoxious for most of the commission's six-week session. They were cruising for a bruising, and when one of the Americans taunted the Cubans after the resolution was passed - he got it... this being yet another indication of how roundly disliked the United States has become in many parts of the world... I've never heard of an American diplomat being knocked out at the United Nations before, but Americans who haven't been overseas lately - or those who haven't exposed themselves to the tedious proceedings of an international organization - probably should know about the incredible dislike now directed at the Bush administration."
