Just got back from the Sydney Anti-war rally. Very impressive, and not at all what I was expecting. I had been expecting basically a ‘usual suspects’ protest, but I think I wasn’t the only one surprised at the 250,000 people, or the spectrum of people there. And watching the news and checking the SMH, it looks like Sydney’s protest fits in with the rest of the world.

It’s always really nice to have your cynicism proved wrong.
