An estimated 400,000 anti-war campaigners marched on London this weekend to express their opposition to the UK and US’s stance on Iraq – a campaign supported by many UK musicians, most prominently Damon Albarn and Massive Attack’s 3D. Prior to the march Moby, writing in London, again expressed his discomfort with US policy via his website:
"The timing makes me uncomfortable because of the mid-term elections coming up. If George W is so gung-ho on removing Saddam Hussein from power why didn't he focus on it a year ago? Or why didn't he focus on it when he was campaigning for president? Or why didn't he focus on it while he was governor of Texas? Why is he only now focussing on war against Iraq? The fact that he's focussed his administration on war in Iraq right before the mid-term elections makes me very uncomfortable. It's not as if Saddam Hussein became any more evil in the last few months. He's been pretty consistently evil for the last 20 years. Not to mention Bush and Cheney's history in the oil industry and the fact that Iraq has huge untapped oil reserves. If you ask me the timing of this is incredibly suspect."
