Don't go lookin' for any credible reports in the US media about the protest because you won't find them. The US media is owned by the ruling class and is not this *liberal* monster that the conservatives have made it out to be.

Three weeks ago there was a demonstration in Washington, D.C. from Dupont Circle to Dick Cheney's house. There were at least 10,000 perople there and one paragraph on A-19 said a few hundred people had protested. Well, I was part of the "few hundred" that consumed 4 entire blocks, side walk to side walk and four lanes of road. That's four blocks. You can do the math.

Same *lack* of reporting was found through out the country, where demonstartions were heal in almost every major city in the US. This weekend there will be another mass demonstration in major cities but you probably won't hear much about them either. No different than Vietnam. It took 800,000 folks to march in the "Moritorium" to get any media notice.

And, yeah, those of us who beleive in a pro-human foriegn policy would like for the drum beaters to stop long enough for us to get a word in edgewise. All we get is a constant diet of woff, woff, woff with no relief.
