We anti-war protesters were right: the Iraq invasion has led to bloody chaos

No offense taken - I know it was not going to convince anyone in power - that it was not good a idea to go to war - even if I was one of 60.000 who was demonstration against it - but it was at least a form of moral Statement against the war - the course was set - and we all was in the know about it - but at least we had the courage to state publicly that we was against it - and wanted to change the course to something different.. We had a prime minister who was all to well in the know - and wanted to be a partner to it all - but our Parliament - and most of the people was against it - so he had to say no to the war -even though most people know that he was all for the war... He had been in the White House - and speaking to the US president in the Oval Office - and got somewhat star-stuck about it all I think....

Off course the man who stooped the line of tanks was not changing the course of what would happened on Ti amen Square later on - but he stated in a way who was extremely public - that he do not wanted military forces to crush the students demonstration on Ti amen Square... And even though no one know who he was - or if he is still alive - he is one of many unknown heroes - who just was standing "His ground" in a small, desperate way of standing up to the all powerfully military force... You need some real moral strings in your body if you is stooping a line of tanks with just a couple of grocery bags to defend yourself...
