There will be a very big demostration tomorrow in the center of Rome to show support for the US.<BR>All the political parties will be there together. Many different groups, many nationalities, all types will be there.<BR>They are suppose to be all with the stars and stripes. Hmmm, I will have to see this, where are they getting all the flags?<BR>Anyway, just thought this was nice and will be curious to see how it goes.

A friend of mine in Rome told me about this. La Repubblica says 100 thousand people are expected, coming by train from all around Italy to Piazza del Popolo. When I lived in Rome during the Vietnam years, all the manifestations were anti-U.S., and I wish I could be there today to see this! I hope no violence mars this event. Thanks, Micia, for posting this notice.

SAD. I was in Europe in September and there was an outpouring of US support in every country that I was in. (Poland, Romania, Hungary, Ausstria and Germany.)<BR>

Well, it went off just fine with no problems at all.<BR>Giuliani was there along with many fire fighters. Sophia Lauren, Andrea Bocceli and a chorus, sorry I don't know who they were and who else was there.<BR>The name of the event was, "per non dimenticare" "for not forgetting".<BR>There were tons of american flags and all types of american things such as hats, shirts, etc.<BR>Very nice and all so orderly. People came from all over Italy, with everyone proclaiming to be "NewYorkese".<BR>Yes, of course there was also the "no-global" people there along with others anti-war and they did a march very calmly. They gave no problems to anyone.<BR>A very nice day.<BR><BR><BR>
