Mr. Bush should be proud

He seems to have generated the largest single protest ever seen in the entire world. I'm sure the numbers will be disputed, but the fact remains that a whole lot of people stood up today and said no.

There seem to have been 110 million people protesting all over the world...
one million+ in Rome and London, half a million in Berlin, ~ 200.000 in Greece and Spain... 70.000 in Amsterdam, one of which was me
There were a lot of Germans, Spanish, Americans and Iraqis too. 70.000 is regarded as quite a lot here actually. The organization expected only about 50.000.
It certainly lloks like something Bush and Blair can't simply ignore and dismiss ... I hope

People that were protesting shut down Academy Boulevard here by protesting right in the street... One of the main arteries of Colorado Springs. Copters are circling over the area and police are on the scene....
Some people just don't know how to protest a war.

Strange as it may seem, normally you ask permission to protest and the whole thing is organized, so the police can divert traffic, extra public transportation is available, etc. Have things really gotten out of hand anywhere?

i only wish this were true. however i am very afraid that you are overestimating Bush's ability to see beyond his own nose and to hear anything but his own words.
