I think the question Old Guy is getting at is what would the protestors do to resolve the problem of Saddam and his tyrrany? Not what future protests are planned but what would protestors offer as a solution in Iraq. I think it is a good question to ask. The sticky problem is that no matter how civilized the rest of the world acts, Saddam is still a ruthless and dangerous dictator. I hope if South Africa can lead Iraq in example of disarmament then Saddam can be de-fused. The problem still remains of his regime being one that uses execution and torture on its citizens, but if you look at documentation of Amnesty International, there are many countries that use execution of innocents and torture. www.amnesty.org I think it is important for peace marchers to not just protest against war, but to support actions that protect human rights everywhere, to not pick and choose focus on the headline locations, but to be active in support of the human rights of all people. For those supporting a military action against Saddam now, my question is, why there and not in the other countries where people are oppressed and suffering? I think one of the callers into the BBC/NPR call in show that is linked in the other thread made a good point, that the solution may better be to have the UN lifting the sanctions and making sure, with a corps of helpers in the country, to uplift the Iraqi people. Then they themselves could gain strength and engage in support that would return control of their own country again. The Iraqis need more power over changing their future rather than have an outside country invade.
