"Would you ask for 500 volunteer grannies or hospital patients to willingly volunteer to go without oil based products for a few weeks as a protest against the actions? "

Visit a hospital in Iraq today - before the war - and repeat your statement. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children have been killed by sanctions, so yes, a couple of days without oil is something we should all be prepared to contemplate. Do you realise if the war goes ahead and fails then those 500 grannies will never see a drop of oil again ?

Lesser of the two evils, and my way is nonviolent, as it has been proven to work in the past.

Every action carries risks. The demo in london probably was responsible for a few deaths as ambulances had to take longer routes, etc, but that doesn't mean the demo was a bad thing does it ?
