Wow - That's one mean camera! Mine's a Canon Powershot A40[^]...only 2 megapixel but ideal for me as it fits in my handbag easily and is pretty robust. The picture quality seems very good too. :) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Two things. First, you do realize you're going to make absolutly no difference in what Dumbya+BlairWitch wants to do, right? Second, your face is now probably on the offical watch list. If you want to change things, you need to buy your own political goon or have important friends in high places. Otherwise, you're just like the rest of us, a great unwashed mass. Right or wrong, that's the way it is. But hey, if you want to go out, show your displeasure at the way things are, and then go back and see how little if anything changes, that's your preogative.

Well, we are back from it early, having left before it got dark (And any colder! Damn it was freezing - typical grey English day). I have never seen so many people in one place before - they are estimating around 2 million at the moment. We were running up and down along the route to get photo's of the various points, rather than in the crowd, and they just kept coming and coming. Unbelievable. And all in a good, peaceful mood. I hope it stays that way as the evening wears on. So were any other CPian's either there, or at one of the other protests around the world? Sorry I couldn't allow my :bob: shirt to be seen - he was warmly wrapped up under 1 jersey and 2 jackets. :-O Here are a couple of the shots London Protest[^]. What a shame the blue sky they promised for today was replaced with heavy grey clouds. Oh well - it was one of the most interesting days of my life so far :cool:

Apologies, Chris. This was in parallel to your message, not a reply to it :-O Perhaps if parilment (you know, where the represntatives of the voters go) were allowed to vote on wether we should send our soldiers to die this might not happen. Tony Blair has said there will be a vote after the troops are deployed :mad: Maybe you like being patronised by your government but we don't. Elaine The tigress is here :-D
Actually, you can't run a government like that. Direct democracy is destined to fail. However, if you don't like your leader, kick him out. Bush has 2 more years before he can be kicked out by normal means. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Frankly I find it totally sickening that so many people have gone out marching in support of Saddam Hussain being allowed to just ignore the rest of the world telling him to disarm. What the hell do they think they are doing?
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. I respect your opinion but I think your choices of words are a little extreme. Everyone is entitled to demonstrate his or her viewpoints whether anyone likes it or not. Won't go into more detail but I support Bush and Blair 110%. Bottom line is he is a serious threat. Why can't weapons inspectors find anything yet? They have 200 weapons inspectors looking for WMD's in Iraq, which is the size of California. They are not going to find them unless they get lucky (Ain't gonna happen!) If the U.S. knows the location of such stockpiles, why do they not come forward with this information? I would love for them to tell the world but it would be irresponsible to do. Reason being is they have sources, intelligence, etc... about the whereabouts of WMDs. Releasing this information would put informants lives on the line and their families. To this date they have unaccounted for their anthrax, vx, chemical nerve agents stockpiles. If they destroyed them, where is the site? There are ways to test the quanity of such materials if they were destroyed. Where were they destroyed???????????? (Hello) I have a different view on why certain countries are opposed to the war with Iraq but it is really an opposition to U.S. dominance. I don't want to digress from the issue you guys started here. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I am off to go eat some groceries. Cheers, Senor Los

So parliment and the senate have no purpose ? Then lets get rid of them and put the money to other purposes ! The tigress is here :-D

frankly i find it morally reprehensible when people equate anything but pro-Bush/War as being pro-Saddam. if you want to live in a country where the choice, for everything, is pro-Leader or anti-Leader, then Iraq (or North Korea) is probably ideal. and, by the way, there's more than one way to force a country to disarm (ask South Africa). -c

I definitely liked the "Blaire, Stop Being Bush's Bitch". Now, we just need a slogan that says "Bush, Stop Being Satan's Pawn!" Oh wait, I'm starting to sound like a Muslim! :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Mike Mullikin wrote: You can't be serious... this has blown up on us too many times already. no, i wasn't serious. but, looking at the number of times the US has backed "the rebels", i wouldn't put it past them. indeed, that we failed to back the rebels after GW-I is a big fat black eye on the US. we should've helped the Kurds. but instead we didn't. Mike Mullikin wrote: because it solves nothing and ultimately puts more lives at risk Saddam isn't stupid (megalomania != stupidity). how many countries has he invaded since '91 ? that's right, none. why? he knows what he faces if he tries something now. he didn't know that in 1991. GWB wants you to think Iraq is an immediate threat. it isn't. but, he's managed to convince a disturbing number of americans that it is. the real threat isn't from Saddam. it's from disenchanted Arab youth. an incredible number of people in the world think that the US deserved, or is at least partially to blame for 9/11 (80+% of canadians, 50+% if russians, etc.) it doesn't matter if we did or didn't "deserve" it. what matters is that the rest of the world sees the US as a dangerous country that has earned a some payback. obviously there is something about the US that really pisses off the rest of the world - even our allies. for a current example, look at the protests today - 6 million people around the world got off their asses and stomped around in defiance of GWB. the rest of the world thinks the US is going about this in the wrong way. and again, correct or not, their opinion matters because when people think the US is an enemy or a danger or something that needs to be put in its place, they're likely to try, or to sponsor or to look the other way at a 9/11, or a Cole bombing, or an embassy bombing, or a WTC #1 bombing or a nightclub bombing. GWB is not helping the anti-terrorism cause by fighting an optional war in an Arab country that has no ties to anti-US terrorism. he's alienating the US from the rest of the world. that is not what we need to fight terrorism. you can make like the Big Manly Cowboy and tell me it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks. but, you're wrong, completely wrong.
