In Australia, protests are happening all over, next weekend, but I fear by then it may have already been declared.

Little Johnny Howard has already sent our troops, and has made it quite clear he will support the US, with or without the UN's approval.

Unfortunately I think it passed the point of no return long ago. Bush always intended it to happen. It's already happening. They just haven't made it official yet.

Other signs? our petrol prices are going up.

I just came back from a wonderful night of folk music - many of the songs anti-war songs and peace songs. There were feelings of deja-vue, from the time of the Vietnam war. Sometimes it feels like there is nothing new - just the same old cycle going round again - only this time the big boys have much bigger toys!

But I still have to have hope. I'm going to be a grandma in July!
