Words can’t describe the incredible amount of positive vibes this recent WORLDWIDE protest against war and the Bush regime has brought. This is a RECORD PROTEST folks.... It’s clear. The world wants peace. Not a war for the handful of elitists/NWO. This sets a HISTORICAL precedent. Don’t let the Penatgon contolled media tell you otherwise.

Blair shaken after peace march
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/html/uncomp/articleshow?artid=37686067

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2003 08:28:35 PM ]

LONDON: Tony Blair's Labour Party has been asked to back him as the British government struggles to regain its nerve on the morning after the largest public protests in history in London, Glasgow and nearly 250 other British cities.

As controversy rages over the credentials of a pro-war Iraqi student quoted by Blair ahead of the anti-war rally, a large and committed contingent of British Indians congratulated themselves on "standing up and being counted" as part of British public life.

Said Harish Patel, who had travelled to London from Leicester, "My father says there are dharnas in India. This is the way we do things here in Britain and I'm glad I've stood up and said, the war is not in my name."

Zafar from Dewsbury, north-west England, said, "I wanted to add my voice."

On Sunday afternoon, Blair's deputy, old-style Labour bruiser John Prescott exhorted the starkly-divided governing party to back its embattled leader, in the face of worldwide protests and British opinion polls showing Blair at his most unpopular.

In the first immediate aftermath of the unprecedented anti-war protests, Precott recalled the Falklands war and said he had never agreed with it.

"War is ugly, the Labour movement has never supported it... we stand up to murderous dictators... it is controversial and never popular," Prescott said.

John Reid, Labour Party chairman, said the party was "engaged and listening."

Blair's decision to quote a pro-war letter from a 19-year-old Iraqi student at Cambridge, Rania Kashi, has also come in for criticism.

Sunday morning saw Kashi touring TV studios admitting she had never been to Iraq, was born in Kuwait of Iraqi refugee parents and had arrived in Britain at the age of three months.

Her pro-war letter to Blair, quoted by the prime minister to make a "moral case for war and removing Saddam" said, "I want to ask those who support the anti-war movement their motives and reasons behind such support... you are still blind to the bigger truths in Iraq... Saddam has murdered more than 1 m people Iraqis... Are you willing to allow him to kill another million?"

But Kashi has been attacked by, among others, veteran socialist and anti-war Labour MP Tony Benn, who said she had no credentials for advising the West to kill innocent Iraqis in war.

Meanwhile, Indian marchers at the London and Glasgow protests said the majority was made up of Gujarati Muslims, while Buddhists and third-generation immigrant students also made their first forays into the politics of protest.

The Gujarati marchers flooding the streets of London on the 3.5-mile march on Saturday, came from Leicester in the English Midlands and Batley in the north-west of England, the hometown of the three British Gujaratis who died in last year's Gujarat riots.

Editorial: The March To Save Saddam
By David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | February 17, 2003

Millions of people poured into the streets of cities from Melbourne to New York on Saturday February 15 to protect Saddam Hussein from an imminent American attempt to disarm and dethrone him and disable his arsenal of chemical, biological and proto-nuclear weapons. They professed concern about Iraqi children (bearing mock bodies to symbolize their alarm) but marched in solidarity with Palestinians and Arabs who kill their own children by strapping bombs to them and telling them to blow up other children -- Jew children -- so that they will go to heaven and their families will receive a $25,000 reward.

In politics intentions count for nothing; actions are what matter. If the marchers are successful, Saddam will survive to be stronger than ever. All over the Middle East and the Muslim world fanatical haters of Americans, Christians and Jews will take heart from Saddam's successful defiance, will draw the conclusion that the West is weak, and will be inspired to commit new atrocities against its most defenceless citizens.

All the marches were organized by supporters of Communist and other totalitarianisms, and by the fifth column agents of Islamo-fascism. All the demonstrations promoted Iraqi war propaganda -- myths about starving children and about alleged mercernary interests behind American policy; all of them had one purpose -- to disarm the American force already in the Middle East and allow Saddam to fight another day.

It is true that some of the marchers were well-intentioned or at least not so blind yet that they could look past the evil that is the regime in Iraq. What of it? What could be more irrelevant than splitting critical hairs when your country is under attack and your actions serve the aggressors?

During the Cold War there were many intelligent souls on the left who joined the "peace" demonstrations in the West organized by Communists and their supporters, but described themselves as "anti-anti-Communists." They meant by this that they knew that Communism was bad, but were against the cold warriors who were locked in mortal combat with the Soviet empire. The Gorbachev regime in their eyes was bad, but Ronald Reagan was a "warmonger" and therefore worse.

The anti-anti-Communists may have been good at stimulating critical discussion. A democracy can always benefit from dissenters because no faction has a monopoly on truth. But in practice the decent opponents of Cold War encouraged the Communists to hold onto their slave empire and resist the presures of the free world. In the end it was Ronald Reagan and the Cold Warriors he led who stymied the Communists' ambitions, brought down the Soviet empire and liberated more than a billion people. In the scales of that historic struggle, when it came to mobilizing the military resources that backed the enemy down, the anti-anti-Communists ultimately put their weight on the other side of the scale.

During the Vietnam War -- the clearest parallel to the present events -- the anti-war movement was organized by Communists who wanted the other side to win. The non-Communists who joined their marches, whatever their intentions, served the same practical end. America was divided at home and these divisons evnetually forced its armies to retreat from the field of battle. As a result, the Communists won and proceeded to slaughter two-and-a-half million peasants in Indo-China between 1975 and 1978. This is the scenario that the people (mostly the same people) who are leading Saturday's protests hope to accomplish: the defeat of the West and the triumph of Islamo-fascism and its friends.

Today's "peace" movement -- the innocent-intentioned along with the malevolent rest -- is a fifth column army in our midst working for the other side. Already their leaders have warned that if the United States remains determined to oppose this totalitarian evil and stay its intended course, they will act within our borders to "disrupt the flow of normal life" and sabotage the war. This is ultimately the most ominous threat Americans face. Abroad we can conquer any foe. The real danger lies at home.

Interesting how Mech finds this fact humorous. Notice that the so-called peace rallies were about hating America and President Bush. Peace was the last thing they were about. Noticed nobody stood up and decried Sadam's killing of over 200,000 of his own people. Nobody blamed Sadam for violating 17 UN resolutions and starting war. Nobody blamed Sadam for torturing and beheading children while their parents watched because the parents may have had subversive thoughts.

Instead they fictitiously blame Bush and America for what Sadam has caused. How can such idiocy be explained? Mech may have the answer but he is not honest enough to have a semi-intelligent dialogue that would answer this genuine question I have.

The peace rallies in the United States were funded in a large part almost directly by Sadam himself, through his representative here in America.

Whole Planet (UPIA),
Reports of 10 million marchers across the planet, opposing Our Beloved President's War to Liberate the Sand Niggers from Hussein's torturing, beheading, flailing, and Multi-Cultural Towel-Headed garbage. The Un-American, communist, homo, girly-boy, witchcraft loving, tree-screwing, Mohammedan savages, nuke-happy Orientals , hell-bound atheist Soviets, who are funded by China, Russia, France, Germany, and Saddam himself are ruining our great Imperial Nation. America's one true threat still comes from these anti-war peaceniks indigenous to coastal Sodom and Gomorrah-like enclaves, where they rut in filth, liberal multiculturalism, and vulgarity - clutching lewdly-shaped cannabis suppositories, while hot-gluing copies of Catcher in the Rye into copies of Patriot Acts 1 &2, for deceitful sale to ignorant once-and-future Bush converts, all the while calling up Middle America-hating Arab madmen and promising them baby oil backrubs and a freebie shot at their daughter's hymens like the cowardly Nantucket Nectar-drinking, Cherry Garcia-eating hippy abortions they are. Below are some pictures of Pro-War protests across the nation:

The reasons for the slightly smaller numbers of The Pro-War, Godly, Patriotic, True Americans was that most stay at home. The filthy, communistic, Un-American, liberals were out in 100% attendance. Every Scum Bag, Satan Worshipping, Saddam kissing leftist in the world was at the rallies for Anti-War. So given 6 billion people on the planet, were outnumbered by War Loving, God Fearing, True Patriot Act Lovers 600 to 1.

Remember the first patriots who kicked the British crown out of America were also called "terrorists" by the Torries (conservative elitists).

I won't be going to war for the elite.
