'Thousands' gather for Iraq demo. I've got mixed feelings about this demo and it's not just sour grapes from being stuck in the Greenhouse because I was unable to get the day off to attend. With a situation where we've completely screwed the infrastructure of Iraq, is 'Out of Iraq' really the message we want to put across? Shouldn't instead it be a dual message of accountability of Bush and Blair for the damage done and a proper commitment, under the UN, of restoring law and order and rebuilding the country? So perhaps the chant should be "UK and US Out of Iraq Open Brackets To Be Replaced by a Multinational Team Comprising of Nations Who Weren't Identified With Bombing The Crap Out of It Close Brackets".
Bush is supposedly making a state visit in a month or two to the UK, which after all the time Blair spent going over there is the least he can do. That sounds like a much more useful time to demonstrating. And if we could get Bush to be suspended off of Tower Bridge in a glass box, that would be superb!
