500,000 people say "dont attack". 58,500,000 dont.

Public opinion polls say that most people dont want a war without UN backing.

Seems to me that the people that would change their mind lack the moral fibre 
to say "yes" or to say "no", without the UN telling them what to do. Facts 
have been presented, if you want to protest, great. If you dont, great. Dont 
wait for someone (the Mirror, the Mail, the Government, the U.S, the U.N.) to 
tell you what to think. Freedom of thought one of the few freedoms we truely 
have left. Along with freedom to peacfully congregate and protest. Sadly 
Iraqi's dont have that freedom.

I still remember a game of "history of the world", where I took the ottoman 
empire to north america using a viking longboat :)
