(I am).  <br>  <br> The moment is critical. France and Germany and Russia are balking at Bush's  <br>  <br> mad rush toward war.  <br>  <br> Belgium, Germany and France have blocked NATO from sending weapons into  <br>  <br> Turkey, a necessary 1st step for the war.  <br>  <br> Friday France and Germany will introduce their own initiative to avoid war.  <br>  <br> As many as one MILLION protesters are expected in LONDON'S Saturday  <br>  <br> protest. Blair is in serious trouble. 80% of Britons are AGAINST this war. Briton is  <br>  <br> the ONLY important ally of the US. Even in Turkey, 80% of the population is  <br>  <br> AGAINST the war. Recent polls in Europe has shown more than 70% are  <br>  <br> against a US led war.  <br><br> THE TIME IS NOW !  <br>  <br> SATURDAY'S DEMONSTRATION AT THE UN WILL UNDERMINE BUSH  <br>  <br> PUSH FOR WAR. IT GIVES A LIE TO THE ARGUMENT THAT THE US  <br>  <br> POPULATION IS BEHIND HIM. IT'S VERY, VERY CRITICAL THAT THERE'S A  <br>  <br> HUGE OUT-POURING OF PEOPLE AT THIS PROTEST.  <br><br> This is more than a protest against an isolate war. This could very well be the  <br>  <br> opening shot of WORLD WAR III. There are many, many scenarios that could  <br>  <br> lead it to being a NUCLEAR confrontation (Israel, Iran, riots in Pakistan, etc.).  <br><br> If you can, GO TO NYC !  <br><br> Do it for you, Do it for your children's future, do it for the world.
