War draws condemnation

Picture attached of the protest down here in Brighton, the biggest I've seen. Completely peaceful and even the police were saying that if they weren't on duty they'd be marching! How many voices will it take for them to listen? All of us? OK then, here we go!

The start of war against Iraq has drawn a barrage of criticism from leaders around the world and brought thousands of demonstrators onto the streets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the US-led military action was completely unjustified, while China said the strike violated the United Nations charter.

President Jacques Chirac of France expressed regret at the launch of hostilities without UN backing.

Support for the action came from, among others, the leaders of Australia, Japan, the Philippines and South Korea.

Around 100,000 people, including many school students, marched to the US embassy in the Greek capital, Athens, to demand a halt to hostilities.

Their calls were echoed in Cairo where Egyptian demonstrators tried to reach the American embassy to express Arab anger at the war.

A few hours earlier, widespread anti-war demonstrations took place across Australia and in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

If you confront the Universe with good intentions in your heart it will reflect that and reward your intent... usually... It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.

Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
