Feb09. Probable protests today as well but their
newspapers are in cyrillic script.

It was freezing cold - with wind chill about -8C.
Still, the organisers had hoped on 20-30,000 showing up. Instead,
there was 70-80,000. The second biggest demo in history (only the
demo when the Americans wanted to put cruise missiles in Holland in
1981 was bigger - but that was half a million!)
So, in our terms, very big! Especially considering there are no plans
to send Dutch troops to Iraq.
