Some "revealing" pictures:

On a clear and sunny morning an estimated 2,000 anti-war marchers
meandered their way through Central Wellington to the downtown grounds of New Zealand's parliament

"Thousands turned out in Auckland today
to make their voices heard, let's hope someone is listening"

Never knew there were so many "Good Iraqis" in the world.

Let me think, what organization is capable of organizing such an event???? No help now. Trying to think who would benefit from such.....Thinking...

[old school]

If you were to believe news reports, (most of it propaganda), the entire sentient world is oppsosed to forcibly removing the terrorist regime in Iraq! If nothing else, recent developments have demonstrated to me the urgent need of the U.S. to get out of the U.N.! I don't quite understand why the President would allow the whole host of freaks to array themselves against the U.S. as they have. But, I think he should "move on" with all due speed to the purpose for which he has set the course; and to remember that this is a contest between good and evil!

Why don't we get any coverage about the anti-Saddam protesters in Iraq?

Or the pro-democracy protesters in China?

Or the anti-Castro protesters in Cuba?

Or the anti-communist protesters in North Korea?

Or the pro-secular protesters in Iran?

Why, if I didn't know better, I'd say that these smug 'anti-war' protesters don't realize that the only reason that their voices are heard is because there are no tanks on the way to run them down. The freedom of speech that they take for granted is in the hands of those who need it the least: those who are already free.

The ones who are truly oppressed, who need to speak out, and want the crimes of their masters to be known, cannot be heard.

We should never have bothered with the U.N.

Every day we wait builds up opposition amongst the Bush haters and the America haters.

A dreaming old cleric named Tutu
O'er paradise soars in a U2
He's reluctant to share
This recurring mightmare
'Cause all heaven is red, white and blue, too!

There were billions more who did not participate in anti Bush, anti American, anti war rallies all over the world and especially right here in America because they disagree with the protests and the message.

This one's my favorite -- clearly shows the intelligence level of the protesters.

CUT the foreign aid budget by 10%. Not as punishment but if they don't need America, they don't need America.

There needs to be a NEW box added to our Tax Forms that reads: Do you as a U.S. taxpayer want to contribute to the foreign aid program for other countries? Yes___ No___

This will determine if U.S. tax payers want to contribute to foreign lands or to contribute to the continued growth of America.

The protesters look like refugees from a DNC outreach program. A couple of points,I would like answered from the Susan Sarandon,Daschle,Clinton crowd-the pro terror posse:

1. No one knows at the UN, where Saddam has stashed his WMAD( Weapons of Mass American Death)-I think we can all agree on that.

2. If no one knows where they are,what guarantee can there be, that they are not being passed off to terrorists? An envelope of anthrax there and here could do a whole lot of harm- the quantities needed for death and chaos are small.

3.Why must the linkage for war, be based solely on connections between Iraq and Al Queda and not Iraq and other terrorist orgs,whose names many of us probably have never heard of before? The death to America terrorist group "XYZ",obtaining Iraqi made smallpox, is just as dangerous as Al Queda,Hamas or Hezbollah obtaining Iraqi made smallpox. If our intel showed the XYZ org was getting a shipment of weaponized smallpox from Iraq and planned to spread it around the US-would you be opposed to preemptively going into Iraq and seizing that shipment? Or do you give the XYZ org a pass, because they are not named Al Queda?

Sickening.

Watching the local protest on TV now.

I'm taking comfort in the fact that it's -13C and windy and they are freezing their arses off.

Frankly, I do not give a damn!

[CyberAnt]

There are NOT millions! Maybe a couple of hundred thousand. Just heard FOX say about 250,000 (which is what I guessed off the top of my head).

[conservativecorner]

Yes, and billions went on with their productive daily lives.

[TracyPA]

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled. America will prevail. The appeasers and anti-war demonstrators can squawk all they want. The train has left the station-First Iraq, then Iran and North Korea. Bush will not be side-tracked. America was attacked-on our own soil! Now we take the battle to the terrorists-in their countries! There are worse things then war-like living in terror with no end in sight. This Americans will never accept!

[MarMema]

Can we now begin collections to send these people over as human shields?

[buffyt]

We need the French, to show Iraq how to SURRENDER PROPERLY!!!!!!!

[buffyt]

The no longer shoot off the fireworks at the Disneyland Park in France. The first time they did that, at 9 pm one night, 200,000 Frenchmen surrendered!
