Yes, We Did!

After a long, hard-fought campaign, Barack Obama was elected US president yesterday. I was in tears watching him give his victory speech. Eight years of the Bush nightmare are almost behind us. Now all Americans and citizens of the world need to work constructively together to decisively confront the many global problems threatening us: financial crisis, global warming, underdevelopment, war. I bring you a selection of Creative Commons-licensed photos from all over the world of the celebrations.
