So I went to the peace rally after all, and I'm so glad I did. Apparently almost 100 000 people turned up today. That is a tenth of the population of this city. Incredible. And this is before the war has even started. Before today I really didn't think that the people would be able to have much of a say in the course of the war, seeing as the Bush + Co are pushing so damn hard for it. But fucking hell, the sheer numbers of people protesting - is it 2 million in London? Wowie. Howard must be shitting himself. You see him on the news, shaking hands with Bush etc, and the fear in his eyes is both hilarious and pitiful. He is way out of his depth. I can't imagine him being re-elected again.

I was wondering if you actually went today, you didnt get all wet from the rain did you?
John Howard still has the nerve to say that hes acting on the Australian peoples behalf.
Stupid toad looking man.
Bah back to homework with me, hope you had fun Jessie :)

No, the rain cleared up brilliantly, just in time. And you know, I've never thought of John Howard looking like a toad, but he so very very does. Especially when he's gulping in sheer terror at the situation he's gotten himself into.

Every dark cloud does have a silver lining.

Good for you. There was a peace rally in Seattle today, but I couldn't make it. My roomate went, and said the turnout was spectacular. I am SO going to the next one.

I just adore this global unity stuff. It was very heartwarming, I really hope you can get to the next one.
