UK protest march may break records
Organisers of the Don't Attack Iraq march have been confident for weeks of drawing huge numbers of people to Hyde Park for what could be the biggest protest march Britain has ever seen.
However, as the fleet of thousands of buses and peace trains heading for London grows by the hour, surprised national coordinators are starting to contemplate something unprecedented: a crowd well in excess of 500,000 coming together in defiance of the Anglo-American preparations for war. - Woohoo!!

Up to 10 million people on five continents are expected to demonstrate against the probable war in Iraq on Saturday, in some of the largest peace marches ever known. Yesterday, up to 400 cities in 60 countries, from Antarctica to Pacific islands, confirmed that peace rallies, vigils and marches would take place. "The internationalism of the opposition is the most powerful weapon people have. It's all we have. We think that Bush and Blair are well aware that global opposition is mounting fast and that they are now desperate to start the war before they are completely isolated by world opinion," said a spokesman for United for Peace and Justice, a US coalition.

Wazzat?
The whump! you just heard was the sound of Rummy, Karl, Unca Dick, and the Nooculer Nincompoop's heads exploding like a Dan Burton watermelon.
Saddam Hussein has just banned all weapons of mass destruction from Iraq. The presidential decree forbids the production or importation of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, or of any materials that could be used to make them.
"All ministries should implement this decree and take whatever measures are necessary to punish people who do not adhere to it," the decree read. It came just hours before the chief U.N. weapons inspectors, Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, were to report to the Security Council on Iraq's compliance with U.N. demands to eliminate its banned weapons.
The reports were considered key to determining whether the Bushies and Britain will launch a war. - link.
