I don't think I met anyone either on the March or since who has expressed
concern for their own skin. I have heard Right-wing Americans claim that this
is what motivates Europeans but that claim is no more valid than most of
their others. There seeemed genuine concern, and deep concern, for the Iraqi
people who would be killed or injured in any war.
