We don't want your fucking war!

Today marks a day of global protests against the U.S. going to war with Iraq.
While I haven't checked to make sure all the organizers aren't Stalinists, one has to wonder why countries like Australia and Japan would concern themselves with an American war.
Could it be because the whole idea of war with Iraq is fucked up?
Could it be that resident Bush and his henchmen are about to launch a plan that is so potentially deadly it might start WWIII?
Here's just a partial list of what nations are participating and their estimated census (from yesterday or today):
Seoul, South Korea: 1,500
London, England: 500,000
United Nations Building, NYC: 100,000
Melbourne, Australia: 100,000
Tokyo, Japan: 6,000 yesterday and more expected today
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 1,500
Bangkok, Thailand: 2,000
Rome, Italy: 1 million
Germany: 100,000
Paris, France: 50,000
Florence, Italy: 300,000
American cities: countless

There's a pretty good sized protest slated for San Antonio today.
I'll likely be there.
A fellow blogger said I might one day be ashamed to have spoken out against this war.
People said that to me back in the Vietnam era, too and they were wrong.
A few years ago, even Robert MacNamara, the secretary of defense during the Vietnam era said in his book that war was a bad idea.
I was never sorry for a moment that I protested against Vietnam.
I'm sure I'll feel the same about this war.
And to the right wing, America love it or leave it flag wavers who think protesters against a war in Iraq are treasonous, open your eyes.
Americans of all ages, races, genders and political affiliations will be out in millions today. This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around.
Today's weather is San Antonio calls for a high of 68º.
It'll be a great day for a march.
