:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 3.21.2004 ::

Antiwar protesters take to streets
Hundreds of thousands march around world

From The Edmonton Journal - Canada.com:
VANCOUVER -- More than 15,000 demonstrators crowded together on a small Vancouver beach Saturday to listen to left-wing activist Dr. Noam Chomsky speak out against the presence of American troops in Iraq.
The demonstration was one of several across Canada and around the world to commemorate the first anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and call for the removal of troops from the Middle East country.
"The important thing for us is that it's a struggle that we can determine the outcome, it's outrageous to leave it to the people of Iraq to fight this battle," Chomsky said.
The American author noted last year's global demonstrations to oppose the war represented the first time in history that millions of people spoke out before a war started. He said he believed the military presence in Iraq could end if activists continue to stage demonstrations.
