"What is the plan of the antiwar protesters for the future."

That is contingent on what occurs in the world. If the war gets jump started, you can guarantee there will be people on the streets that same day in just about every city in the world protesting. In these Internet Days it's a lot easier to keep tabs on that kind of thing.

But that's drift - we've got other threads about the demonstrations where that kind of question and answer would be more at home.

Anyway, here is a link to the text of the Blix report. And here is the same for his colleague Mohammed el-Baradei

One thing in Blix's report that struck me at the time was this passage:

"Another matter - and one of great significance - is that many proscribed weapons and items are not accounted for. To take an example, a document, which Iraq provided, suggested to us that some 1,000 tonnes of chemical agent were "unaccounted for". One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist. However, that possibility is also not excluded. If they exist, they should be presented for destruction. If they do not exist, credible evidence to that effect should be presented."

And I like that sentence "One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist." Because that is obviously true - and yet it is very apparent that the USAK governments have done precisely that, and have done their best, largely successfully, to manipulate others into doing the same.

Obviously, as Blix says, you need evidence before you believe what Saddam ways, even more so than you would need evidence to believe the word of a man like Bush - but announcing to the multitude that you know the truth in advance is a conman's trick. Political legerdemain - but this is too deadly a matter to play games like that.

As it is we're being presented with a Catch 22 situation - we know they've got the stuff, so if the inspectors don't find it, that proves Saddam has hidden it, and that's a material breach. But as Blix said "One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist."

So he's insisting on seeing the evidence, and if he's given the chance, he'll be back to report whether this stands up or not, and able to say whether it actually does look as if these weapons of mass destruction do in fact now exist at all.
