The figures for the London march of Feb 2003 vary between one and two million...after the first million has marched past the precise number gets a little difficult.However, one million or two, both can be regarded as an incredible mass mobilisation of people against the war.
But let's not forget the huge mobilisations in America on the same day and since the invasion.Some hundreds of thousands tried to march in New York on the 15th Feb 2003 but were penned in and intimidated by the police.Only last month some 300 000 marched in New York to protest at the continuing occupation of Iraq.Bush's approval ratings are at an all time low.
The US military has used Depleted Uranium in vast quantities in Iraq.
They used them in the original Gulf War, in the subsequent prolonged bombing of Iraq that went on through much of the 1990s and in the invasion of Iraq three years ago.Are you denying that?
DU shells and bullets have been used from the air and from tanks in their tens of thousands.You could have alerted Mudcat readers to their lethal consequences which one informed commentator has said threatens the very DNA of as yet unborn Iraqi children. The one suspect thing about Artbrook's sad posting is his reluctance to accept the barbarism that has been inflicted on the poor people of Iraq who have been savagely treated because beneath their desert sands are some of the largest oilfields in the world.
