Apparently there is a move under way to change EVERY date in the

under the radar without a major discussion? It's a very anti-American
thing to do.
That's the first time I've been asked to consider Americans
to be an
opressed minority :-)
(4% of the world population and they expect everyone else to suffer
their
illogical system?)
2 March 2003 is logical, natural to speech, and (so long as the month
name
is used) unambiguous.
In your terms, "March 2" is anti British, Anti European, Anti-
Australasian,
Anti-African etc. etc.
This discussion should be held to the proper forum: [[Wikipedia
talk:Manual
of Style (dates and numbers)]].
