Can't agree with you. You really believe that this is about anti-war
and it's not. It's about latching on to ANY thing that let's them
critisize the government that they don't want. If it were a Clinton or
some other socialist as president they wouldn't say boo. They also
get off on feeling so morally superior.

You are a minority in the movement. Maybe in Australia the protests
will continue after the war is over but here and in Europe the mass
will go on to some other issue.
I wish someone could show me when in recorded history have we ever
secured peace by any political system and/or any religeous grouping.
And it has been recorded that after the revolution many "useful idiots"
WERE THE FIRST TO BE SHOT, IMPRISONED OR RE-EDUCATED and
people have been butchered while praying. I learned a long time ago
the best way to handle a bully was to hit him first, hardest and not
let him get up. If only my country could learn that it would be
better for the world to RESPECT us and stop worrying about them
liking us.
