Comment - On CNN, "Far from envisioning a peaceful solution, Cheney leveled a serious new allegation that implied Hussein already has nuclear weapons. "We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons," Cheney said.

I'm still skeptical. If Hussein had 'em, he'd have threatened us by now. Where's the advantage to him keeping the bomb a secret? As I noted in a previous blog, a nuclear bomb is far more valuable as a threat (see North Korea) than as an actual battlefield weapon.

Another tactic: drive your car downtown and drive real slow in order to block traffic. The following is from the Web site:

"This approach might provide some of us older people, in particular, with a more viable method for prolonged participation." --From the person who started this idea and said this was used by the movement that toppled Slobadan Milosevic.

My reaction: no, it was President Clinton ordering a U.S. bombing campaign that toppled Milosevic, not slow-moving cars in downtown Belgrade.

What I'm fascinated with is how the Internet is being used to help plan and coordinate the anti-war actions.
