"Get Out, Get Out, Get Out"

From Reuters (via my husband) - Tens of thousands of anti-war protesters staged demonstrations around the world today calling for an end to the US occupation of Iraq. If you're Fox News, of course, that translates downward to only thousands. Google has lots of related stories, and I'll be turning on EuroNews now... Yep, they showed it, and said there were about 100,000 in London (from their overhead shot of Trafalgar Square I can believe it!) and smaller demos in Belgium, Turkey (they showed scenes from Brussels and Ankara, mentioning during the latter that it was also marking the 3rd anniversary of the latest intifada), France, Greece, Spain, Canada and the US. Looking forward to seeing more domestic coverage about demos in San Fran and here in NYC (where apparently there's another round planned for tomorrow). And we were on time to catch the launching of the Smart-1 probe's rocket live!
