Brendan O'Connor, that crazy kid Amongst many of the media articles in yesterday's Sunday Independent, the only newspaper not to have anything about the march on its front page, was another gem from that friend of the Irish radical, Brendan O'Connor, one of many pro-war, let's bomb Saddam pieces throughout the paper. Apart from the usual hand-wringing about anti-Americanism being prevalent in the anti-war movement, ignoring again the American anti-war protestors both here and in their own country was the gem of an observation that 20,000 people marching through Dublin was irrelevant. Wonder what he made of 100,000? One other snapshot of the march, going through Temple Bar to make it to the Central Bank a young woman ahead of me with a homemade sign passed two Garda officers. Glaring at them as she passed she turned round and said 'Youse aren't taking off your ID badges today are yese, ye bastards?' and stalked off as the Gardai pretended to ignore her.
