Some news services, like king fuddy-duddy Reuters, report &#8220;tens of thousands&#8221; in their lead, but further inspection reveals that London, a city of roughly nine million with millions more in their outlying districts, could muster up a scant ten thousand in Hyde Park. [Maybe it conflicted with the whippet races.-ed.] Similar figures are reported for Rome and Turkey. Pretty pathetic. As we all know, over a million demonstrated in Beirut alone last week in favor of democracy and against Syrian occupation of Lebanon &#8211; in a country of three and a half million.]]>Sat, 19 Mar 2005 11:38:20 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
