A weekend for Protests and Demonstrations

Anti-War demonstrations are going on this weekend across the world. In countires like Australia, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Germany, Greece, Austria, and Denmark. Now the Denmark one catches my eye because of the cartoon row that's now a days getting little press, but a month or so ago was all the rage, a situation that can ultimately be linked to the GWOT just as these protests against the war in Iraq are.

However, in the name of Freedom and Liberty, a few things are happening this weekend.

There is an anti-China rally happeneing in Tiwan to protest the mainland's threats to attack the island.

Also, there's another demonstration of note happening this weekend right here in Washington DC - one concerning the political freedom of the country of Belarus.

I posted on it a day or so ago, here. It's tomorrow from 8 am - 8 pm, corresponding with tomorrow's elections in Belarus. Many indiviuals will be comming to the Ebassy of Belarus to vote in this election, which is also where the demonstration is going to be held.

Those that are vying for their freedom in that country have many obstacles to overcome, the greatest of which is a oppressive government of old Soviet style that has done all it can to oppress those that would stand up against it in the name of Freedom. The Opposition party to this tyrannical government has endured much to get to the elections that will be held tomorrow, and even though a hard loss is likely, I tip my hat to those with the courage to stand up under opression and do all they can in the political process to stop it.

For Belarus.
