If you agree with me, contact The Stop The War Coalition and tell them that their proposed demos are pathetic and docile and we need more aggressive action if we are to stop this war.

time for a riot! haha

hence, the need to step up action.
the last thing blair wants right now is a riot on his hands. sure, i'm not advocating a riot, but I agree with the original poster, its time for some real marching, some real demonstrations. not going to some park to listen to have-beens and wanna-bees (like that bitch from the NUS who supports the war, but was forced to give a speech), or even by tony ben (geezer that he might be), who spent his life trying to improve 'parliament' - some lack of intelligence there methinks.
no, time for real action! time to shake blair's grasp of the situation. time to actually stop this war rather than bleating on about peaceful marching and petition signings and kissing labour politicians arses. fuck em! the only people who can stop the war is us, and we need to do it through effective action, not boring inaction.

Just get on with it then

Having said that, a national group like STWC probably isn't much good for organising direct action, since it tends to involve a certain element of surprise and speed. So support the STWC doing what they can do (demonstrating the depth and breadth of public feeling in big demos) for what it's worth, and organise locally / in affinity groups to take action!
As for storming the US Embassy, not sure it will help much. You'd have to get past hundreds of tooled-up TSG - and there's a detachment of US Marines on the inside, too. Non-violent 'disruption' protests (blockades, occupations) cause more economic damage without getting yourself battered by a bunch of neurotically inadequate jumpsuit-wearing apes. Not every time, anyway.
P.S. Krop - leave off Tony Benn! He's a defender of democracy at all levels (not just Parliament, by any means). I imagine his conception of democracy differs from yours - and mine, for that matter - a fair bit, but it's a dangerous tendency to start saying that everyone who disagrees with you must be suffering from a 'lack of intelligence'..

STWC to march on us embassy

This will start at Broadcasting House and head for the Embassy in Grovesnor Square. This will be the first explicit mass targeting of the US Embassy since the war started.
