<DIV>Thanks Robin. A good introduction. A problem with small scale direct action is that it gives no role to the millions of people who hate this 'war'. My mum (82, 2 hip replacements) hates this 'war'. Having never shown any previous interest in any decent cause, she now spits blood about Blair. And there are hundreds of thousands (?) millions (?) more like her. In this country alone. </DIV>
<DIV>A general election is coming. Who should she vote for?</DIV>
