Well, I can honestly say that in Belgium, most people still oppose the war. Student marches, our mayor gave us a speech backing the government and saying that this war is not in our name.
Our radiostations are broadcasting peace-songs all day. So much different than the first gulf war, or the war in Afghanistan.

Why Protest in Paris
Strange that there’s been a massive protest in Paris, unfortunately now that the French have been marginalised by Bush and Blair, it is of very little consequence to their plans of what goes on in the French capital or what the French think.
On a slightly different note I read in last nights Jersey Evening Post (19 March), that there is a plan to build a 14 mile (23Km in French Money) causeway between Jersey and the Normandy coast.
I reckon that with the divisions that now exist in Europe over the Iraq Crisis, the Euro and the appointment of new members to the EU this is actually a French ploy to align it’s self to Jersey by physical connection and to declare it’s self an Off Shore Tax Haven:)

Brazil
Our president made his adress to the nation a few minutes ago condenming this war. He said he has kept contact with world leaders in order to avoid this war, and now he is gonna work to end it as soon as possible.
Protests are happening in all major Brazilian cities.

There have been demonstrations and road blockages in England, I haven’t noticed anything in my town, but then I don’t live in a major city. I will be glad when everything is over, these are terrible times, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The British government has not listened to the anti-war protests, it just goes its own way.
