Broad cross-section marches againt war

The demonstrators seemed like a cross-section of modern British society.

There were veteran activists and people who said they had never been on a march before in their lives.

I was heartened to see similarly wide support here. If by some chance world opinion, as expressed by such marches and the stances of France, Germany, Russia, and others helps prevent this war for the time being, I hope it will lead to much more investment in and investigation of alternative (non-war) methods of resolving the current situation. I've been appalled by the neglect of such methods to date.
