Impressive turnout. :k:
This show that even in the west there is huge resentment against American war mongering, from all sections of society.
Half-A-Million March in Anti-War Rally in Italy](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20021109/wl_nm/italy_globalisation_dc_4)
Malik - i hear it was 200,000.
Anyway 200,000 OR 500,000 - still a heck of a lot of people.
Doesn't make a modicum of difference though? ! They going to bomb anyway..
Italian police have estimated that at least half a million turned out.
Up to 500,000 in anti-war march](CNN.com - Up to 500,000 in anti-war march - Nov. 9, 2002)
It may not make a difference yet, but the numbers are sure significant and it shows the level of feeling in Europe towards American war mongering.
Dear People,
I have heard 200.000. I have heard 450,000. I have heard a million.
They question what is right or wrong by their feelings and love for humanity.
In my eyes they are good. Doing good. They aren't not hurting anyone, yet still standing up for their beliefs.
They are making a grand statement. And reaching the world. attentionwithout violence.
I salute them.
My prayer is that all the rest of us learn from their teaching, no mo matter our religious backgrounds.
I think Moses, Jesus and Mohammad would agree.
So let it be written. Let it be heard.
Avggirl.
500.000 What i have heard.
The figure ranges from 450,000 (Italian Police fig. ) to 1Mln (organiser fig.). Some important aspects to bear in mind:
a) There were hundreds of different organisations taking part but with 1 aim - NO WAR;
b) Dozens of seminars and meetings were held in the 3 days preceding the march covering all topics of interest to humanity - peace, food, health, education, ebergy, ...;
c) There were a lot of "respectable" voices warning about how historic Florence would be destroyed by these barbarians - absolutely nothing happened, it was all very peaceful and joyous.
d) This was a European affair (European Social Forum), with participation also from outside Europe but overwhelming majority of Europeans. So the war mongering rulers cannot dismiss this as the work of those "backward 3rd worlders".
Will the BB (Bush Blair) juntas listen and back off - PLEASE?
:k: :k:
Cool! :k:

Look at what the CNN Report says:-
But a police source, while not giving an official figure, told CNN the organisers' estimate was "quite realistic" and that the number "could be close to **500,000."
500.000. Is not enough to prevent the inevidilble.
However? 500.000. every single say/DAY might be.

When Using coward methods, no wonder.

Ali_R, this is not your playground fight.. it's a professional military ensuring maximum results while minimizing it's own casualties. You don't have to be stupid to be brave.
