THANK YOU!!!

A massive thank you to all those who protested in London and Washington (and Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Brussels, Florence, Rome, Paris and Madrid, not to mention Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax and Ottawa!) today.

Even the Police acknowledged that the crowd was at least 100,000 strong. Others put the figure at 300,000. Eyewitnesses report crowds streaming towards the White House for at least 20 blocks. Some photos here.

One sign said, "Bush is a Cat 5 Disaster," in a reference to the recent hurricanes that have hammered the US Gulf Coast.

Another said, "Make Levees, Not Humvees"..

I wonder if Karl Rove still believes "there is no real anti-war movement"? Cindy Sheehan:

"This war is immoral, it will end. The darkness will never overcome the light."

As a person who lives far away on the other side of the planet but still does whatever he can to bring the Bush regime to an end, a heartfelt Thank You once again to all who marched, for keeping this important issue from disappearing, and for re-affirming my own faith in humanity.

This is now the only way the war will be brought to a close. We have to keep doing this again and again until our governments stop the violence.
