The fine folks at the NY Times (don’t laugh) have published their take on the events in Brasilia. And while the column is largely a regurgitation of the two linked in yesterday's post, its still worth a look. More worthy is Austin Bay’s take on the summit.

As Austin catches, and sorely missing from the previous AP and FT columns, the participants in the summit also expressed their view on terrorism, which the UN hasn’t yet defined.

The Brasilia conference also:

...called for an international conference to define what terrorism is, and endorsed the right of peoples to "resist foreign occupation in accordance with the principle of international legality and in compliance with international humanitarian law."

What will come of the meeting is clear - little of any value aside from a bit more clarity on the scope and scale of anti-American sentiment and moral confusion in both regions.
