Spikey, I'm with you went you say that there need to be more militant action against the forthcoming war, however any unprovoked violence would be counter productive, the resistance movement has a bad enough image as it is due the alleged actions of a few at events such as Genoa, May Day, and Seattle.

Having said that, we need to disrupt the normal pattern of like, because that is the only way the people will listen to us. As you say, it's another step closer to the long overdue revolution...

The first stage of our resistance will come on the 28th of September with the mass show of strength in London. It is important that this is as peaceful as possible to emphasise that we want to to see the end of all war and violence. If this strategy fails then we fight fire with fire, and this time we will prevail.

in solidarity.

Mike, 28th September is way too late for a 'first step' given the possibility of attack in October!
Personally, I think we will lose public sympathy very rapidly if there is any violence (meaning physical assault on persons - 'fighting for peace' sounds like 'War On Terror' doublespeak to me!).
However, I'm in full support of confrontational tactics in the current situation. Thoughtful, timely, effective actions might encourage many who would otherwise remain silently complicit to make their voices heard.
Anyone aware of anything like this currently organised? We have VERY little time. Once forces have assembled in the middle east, I can't imagine Bush / Blair will back out.
Peace!

Agent provocateurs really should work a bit harder on the tone of their messages. "the long overdue revolution"?? Who can honestly believe that this came out anyone with a serious commitment to the Left, or in particular to the anti-war movement? Do you think that posting the socialist alliance website is going to make you look like the real thing? Why don't you guys go off and chase down the corrupt accountants who are really putting capitalist civilization in danger? But I suppose that would be hard work wouldnt it, and might require a bit more cerebral horse power than you can muster?

...I used the dreaded "R" word in a posting, which automatically makes me a horrible, nasty, slimy, SWP sucker-upper! Yuk, yuk, yuk!

Now seriously, "watching", how do you suppose we would otherthrow the captialism? Just by waving placards, selling papers and chanting various slogans in Hyde Park? Come on! There is a word that describe how to overthow capitalism, I just can't think of it, think it begins with R. Now, what can it be?
