Millions of protesters - many of them marching in the capitals of America's traditional allies - demonstrated Saturday against U.S. plans to attack Iraq.
In a global outpouring of anti-war sentiment, Rome claimed the biggest turnout - 1 million according to police, while organizers claimed three times that figure.
In London, at least 750,000 people joined in the city's biggest demonstration ever, police said. Berlin had up to half a million on the streets, and Paris was estimated to have had up to 100,000.

Here's another creep site message board. They support Saddam, it's www.genelovesjezebel.com. Go to message boards after you click on their name on the headline. They want to send rice to President Bush and they like to call military members "fodder".

America MUST listen? I only listen to people who make sense. While I'm sure there are some who are anti-war out of conviction, most of these people are anti-American, leftist, socialist, communist, anti-capitalist, anarchist, environmentalist wackos and terrorist sympathizers who have no idea about leadership and couldn't lead a pack of drunk sailors into a whorehouse, much less run a decent country.

You forgot the </sarcasm> tag.

Wow, it looks like the WORLD is speaking... Not really. More like "bored losers are speaking". People with lives, 95+ percent of the populations of all these countries, are doing other stuff.
republican or no republican America must listen...
Where do you get that idea? America's military doesn't need permission from losers in foreign countries to do something. They take their orders from the Commander-in-chief (who is Bush), who is responsible to US citizens. Not to Frenchmen. You sure have some funny ideas about how the US government works.

I look at those photos and see a target-rich environment.

Exactly! And, how many of those countries with 'large protests' are havens for muslims?

I agree, some (and maybe most) DO have a hidden agenda...but those are STAUNCH NUMBERS...it's NOT like the million mom march...we're talking millions and millions of people...
I'm being honest, and I even have doubts about going into Iraq with guns blazing...dont' get me wrong, I would like to see Sadamn's head on a stick, (and a lot of people in OUR UN), but we can't go it alone like we want to. Why should we? We shouldn't have to! Is the whole world screwed in the head except America???

It's not even like it was on 9-10-01.
