We have marched here as well. Minneapolis, many thousands, and Duluth, small city, 2,000 people. It was below zero (fahrenheit) but people marched anyway. It was exhilarating as well, and I wont miss those toes anyway.

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 The fracturing of the Western alliance over Iraq and the huge antiwar demonstrations around the world this weekend are reminders that there may still be two superpowers on the planet: the United States and world public opinion.
