Ha ha.
The amusing thing is that so many people seem to have gotten the notion that their governments actually care about what they have to say. Some people don't seem to have cottoned onto the fact that money and weapons are what you need in order to get your opinions taken notice of. '500,000' people (if the figures are even accurate) gathered together for a futile 'can't-we-all-just-get-along' meeting might make a great front-page news photo, but it will change nothing in terms of how valuable a successful invasion of Iraq shall be for all involved.

The war IS going to happen, in fact you might as well consider Iraq invaded already. It's there for the taking, no one with any diplomatic savvy is going to pass up this opportunity. The real issue here is whether the UN is going to survive this ordeal, and what new political world order shall be established among 'the allies' should the UN go the way of the League of Nations.
