This sunday there will be a march in London protesting the US/UK occupation of Iraq. www.guilfin.net/reports/?id=rwINET2082

Although I was against the war (and still am), I will not be going. This atitude is incredible. Now that we have a toppled stable government, they want us to leave the country in anarchy. It is too late to pull out now, the US/UK must finish the job or create another Afghanistan (lawless, only good for training terrorists and raising fundamentalists).

Thats my position, no hope for the new government, but it is the best hope. Sorry if it is a bit disjointed.

These people just want an excuse to 'cock a snoot' at authority (WTF does that come from btw?)New age travellers looking to cause a spot of anarchy who probably don't even know where Iraq is

Toppled a stable government. Oh yes, that'll be the government that ruled for 20 odd years, murdered thousands of people, gassed it's own people, and let millions starve whilst the elite lived it up in their golden palaces. Mmmmmm.. glad we don't have a 'stable' government in this country!!

Wake up!! The fact that people are ransacking the towns and looting the shops and businesses is a typical reaction of the oppressed masses that have been living in poverty for too long.

Claire short jumps up on her (re-inforced) soap box and starts spouting opinions that the soldiers should be doing more to prevent the chaos that is evidentally taking hold of the major cities and towns. It makes me sick. Hipocritical to say the least. The fact is the war was necessary, the cheering crowds in Bagdad are testament to that. The country will be much better off in the long term. And as for finishing the job, we havn't even started. For one I'm glad that Saddam and his cronies have fcuked off. Anyone who still opposes the war is smarting from the fact that they were wrong and history will be a constant reminder of that.

Given the recent sway towards supporting the war, it'll only be a couple of weirdos with banners trying to hi-jack the marathon coverage.

Burn the ****ers on live tv.

Spot on banjo...There's always some arse who will whine about anything. The trouble with the whole anti-war thing was they had no better solution....ohhh lets talk to them....Jesus, we've had 12 years of talking and saddam took how much notice ????

As you say, one look at the people going crazy in streets should be enough to tell you that we did the right thing.

People loot because they can. It allways follows riots, disturblnces and the like.

SH kept anarchy at bay for twelve years of sanctions and bi-weekly bombing (bombs falling, not planes flying). You do not do this by being gentle and handing out free lentils.

And before I forget, stability is the first priority when you create a country. Every ideal depends on the country progressing from today to tomorrow, gently. My point was that now the US and UK are the best hope the country has for stability, the people who were vocally against the war ane now trying to shaft the Iraqis.

[O/T] Hmm, just realised I've got (1) a striking fireman (a right nasty piece of work) and (2) an anti war/everything green activist living across from each other at the end of my street. Hmmmm, any chance of some friendly fire anyone?

They haven't anything better to do so they want to 'be noticed'. It gives them plenty to talk about over coffee. Once the country is stable they will protest about the next thing that's in fashion.
