Without expecting it really, we found ourselves yesterday *caught* in the weekly Peace demonstration here... It was interesting, quite many Americans were there, applauded by the mob. French applauding Americans, who would believe it :-)

There were also many Greenpeace groups, extreme left ones (funny communists, you forget they exist here until you see their red flags in any kind of demonstration), Palestinian ones, Kurdes ones, etc.

As they were walking in the direction of our last pub, we joined the student groups who were shouting some WAR! huuuuuu! What is it good for? Absolutly nothing! (ya remember Franky goes to Hollywood? hehe)... the slogans from the trade-unions were less groooovy ;-)... "Bush, Saddam, assassins!", "oil everywhere, freedom nowhere", etc etc.

Someone ask me what these demonstration can change now? They won't bring peace in Irak, but I guess they're necessary to express in a stronger way public opinion.. and I also think (don't laff!)these demonstrations can be compared to some kind of prayers...yup, yup... And I *believe*, soooo :-)))
