Went to a Stop the War rally organising meeting tonight put on by Stop the War Collective.

It wasn’t a hugely productive meeting, but I guess that sort of thing can happen at times. It was my first meeting with them, so I guess it may take some time to feel my way around.

Basically there’s a rally on March 18 at King George Square at 1pm to protest against the war in Iraq and demand the Australian Government brings the troops home. Hopefully we can generate some media and therefore public interest.

I can’t believe the war is still happening…

Iraqi civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq: 28048 (min) – 31636 (max)

American Military Casualties in Iraq: 2215

Australian Military Casualties in Iraq: 1

It’s appalling what’s going on over there. Doesn’t make any bloody sense. How can John Howard make any sense of it? Justify it? Sleep at night?
