We coulda told you that a loooong time ago... before the invasion we had a march in London against the Iraq war; depending on who you believe, there were 1.2 to 2 million people there... either way it was the biggest protest in the city's history. Not that that cut much ice with our good friend Tony who, while not quite as deranged as your esteemed leader, has a bit of a messianic, "I know I'm right" bent to him.
In a way I envy you yanks - politics for you at the moment is so clear-cut and simple. In the UK, we have Blair, who many are feeling reluctant to support purely because of his support for Dubya (a position which is not endorsed by the vast majority of those in his party - but as I said, like Dubya, it's apparently Tony's way or the highway); we have the Tories, the same scumbags who bled the country dry for 18 years and happily would again; and the Liberal Democrats (gosh, wouldn't a party get far in the US with a name like that), who, aside from not really having much of a chance of ever getting in power, seem to be a slightly schizophrenic bunch, a mix of very left- and very right-wing individuals.
You all seem to be having so much fun, it makes me wish I could vote for Kerry...
