March 21, 2004 | NEW YORK -- On Saturday, as people across America
and in dozens of countries worldwide marked the one-year anniversary of
the invasion of Iraq, a man in khaki pants walked down Broadway with a
sign simply saying, "We Were Right." For the antiwar movement, the last
few months have been a grim vindication, as security in Iraq
deteriorates and the Bush administration's pre-war rationales evaporate.

On Feb. 15 last year, millions of people across the globe took to the
streets in the largest simultaneous protests the world has ever seen,
hoping they could somehow stop the march to war by their epochal display
of opposition. Now, with the war over and the occupation turning into a
bloody quagmire, protesters in countries allied with America demanded
that their governments follow Spain's example and quit the coalition of
the willing, while marchers in the United States rebuked their
government for the war and a thousand other misdeeds.


Thanks Jim. I can't understand why none of this has been on any of the
news programs over the past couple of days.


It's been all over the news, but probably not on the simple minded right
wing trash channel you watch.

There wasn't much reported on in here in the print media. My TV was
not on at all this weekend. I checked in with the sfgate.com from
time to time over the weekend - nothing on the front of their web site
which is update everal times a day. Little in papers. On my way to
work this morning I heard a radio news repoert saying the protests in
San Francisco we not near as large as the pre- event hype said they
would be.
