As the President goes to Britain, we will see massive coverage of anti-Bush, anti-US demonstrations sure to happen.

Meanwhile, the press entirely missed more important massive anti-terrorist demonstrations in Nassiriyah, Iraq… demonstrations a little closer to where the action really takes place, by the people actually affected by the situation.

As reported by the excellent new Baghdad blogger, Healing Iraq:

Huge anti-terrorism demonstrations were held in Nassiriyah yesterday by students association condemning the attacks on the Italian force carrying signs such as ‘No to terrorism. Yes to freedom and peace’, and ‘This cowardly act will unify us’. I have to add that there were similar demonstrations in Baghdad more than a week ago also by students against the bombings of police stations early this Ramadan. I hope the demonstrations advocates that bugged me are satisfied now. There are also preparations for anti-terror demonstrations before Id (end of Ramadan holidays).
