Take into account that this are pictures from the official demonstration staged by the ruling party SPD and the mayor of munich who last year banned the anti-"securiy"-conference protests and tried to take away attention form this years demonstration by staging a "wars are ok but not this one" demonstration.

true, and

given the fact that a considerable number of national flags (mainly Iraqi, but also German and others) were being waved enthusiastically on this demonstration/rally, the fact that, from a true progressive point of view, this was a scam becomes only more evident.

The grassroots anti-war protest, OTOH, was due to the stance of the organizers all but (some folks never learn...) free of flags and similar symbolism, AND brought together about 2.5-3 times as many people as the Ude protest!

We shall overcome!

Containing Saddam means strengthening Ayatolla Khamenei, Prince Al-Assad, King Hussein and King Faisal.

You aren't serious with that, are you?

this was not the huge demonstration against the nato summit. this was a rally, organized by the mayer of munich, to smalen the success of the international demonstration. i realy want too stress out this point. please don`t confuse this two demonstrations. the mayor of munich is not in oposite to the nato summit, but only against war on iraque. the pictures are selfdocumenting and don`t need further explaination. we don`t support the iraque, but we also don`t want to see nato officials in munich. we don`t think that a war against iraque will bring any good to the people in iraque while we very well see that iraque is an diktatorship to be stopped. we don`t think that a nato intervention will bring anything but sorrow to the people. we don`t think that such an war will stop the diktatorship. the war against iraque was not the reason for our protest on the international demonstration. the reason was the meeting of nato officials in munich - the thread of an iraque war played nevertheless an important role(due to actuality).
while 4000 people supported this rally, between 20.000 to 30.000 people came together at the anti nato protest.

but have a look at pictures of the anti nato protest:
