Today was a beautiful day! If you go to Yahoo and check out their 250+ Photo Slideshow about today's worldwide protests against the oil and bloodthirsty Monkey King, you don't need to read too much text. The images tell it all. Such and upsurge in protests! I'm staggered, absolutely floored by all this. It swelled my heart.
A few comments: Does this show democracy works (being able to demonstrate) or does this show that it doesn't (that the Smirk and Blair don't care about the millions and millions of people around the globe)? I've been mulling this over in my head and I still haven't come to a conclusion. (I'm partial to the latter).
Did you notice how the networks cut between footage of the Western protests and the Baath Party rally in Iraq (the Iraqis were the men holding rifles aloft)? A subtle comparison, no? Equating our protests with gun-wielding Iraqis? That we support Saddam by protesting? Hmmm? I did find out later that there were some protests in the streets of Baghdad by the Westerners there, but I can't find info on whether they were part of the same event.
My final thought: this undeniably proves that Bush is the most hated and/or disliked President in all of history, probably even more than Reagan or Nixon because at least those guys were elected. (I'd like to hear some older visitors on this opinion.) What a bloody shame for America and for the rest of the world.
