yesterday,
I did something I havnt done for years:
I signed up, supporting a political initiative: The Constitutional Comitee 2003 concerning the war in Iraq.

Short: 4000 danes are suing the danish goverment, personalized by prime-minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, decision leading to participating in the war in Iraq. The case opens in court on monday. This decision is in clear opposition to the basic fundament and principle of the the Danish Constitution of 1953.
First obsticle: To get the compentence approved to even take the matter to the court.
Primeminster Rasmussen is off the opinion that there is no case, as is his rapid answer everytime he is cornered: But thats really up to the legalsystem to decide, and the risc of having the case a turned down by the court could (and should) be considered a huge democratic problem, and an explicit and depressing result of instant historical revisionism.

It is, I admit, a complex case, that I will follow from the sidelines in the court and more...
