I am suprised that I have not seen anything posted regarding this anniversary. Would it be that some would rather forget it? Did, George Bush and Tony Blair, as many think.... Start something that their countrymen would rather forget?

Freedom is when the people can speak, democracy is when the government listens.

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.

There will always be people who protest war. It would be a victory for all warmongers if nobody protested the insanity of war.

In London, police said about 15,000 people joined a march from Parliament and Big Ben to a rally in Trafalgar Square. Planners had expected 100,000.


The police and the BBC lied - I know, I was there. It was at least 50,000
Maybe more.

In response....protests outside BBC studios nationwide
Lunchtime, Tuesday 4th April http://www.stopwar.org.uk/new/beebdemo.htm

I think its a dangerous mistake to ignore peaceful demonstrations.
And heart felt messages - like the one from speaker Ben Griffin (SAS soldier) who summed it up for me in his personal message to Tony Blair,

"It's not God who will judge you.... it is us."
