i agree with angela and reckon it will result in a much smaller and
more *militant* (if i may use that word) anti-war movement.

i'm not sure who these "coalition partners who don't adhere to a 'not
without the UN' position are too scared to address it" are, except the
obvious ones: the greens, the labor party. the leninoids here in
canberra seems to be running vocally and clearly with an anti-un
position - particularly as one of the main speakers at the saturday
rally.
