There are many people protesting the war, it is just not nearly organized enough nor getting nearly enough media attention.

People are protesting the war. Not too long ago there was a protest that a mother of a fallen soldier started that got a ton of media coverage. People protest every day, but sadly it's usually just a few people and that isn't enough to start a serious protest. There may not be hoards of people in front of the White House or marching to Washington picketing, but others do small things to protest. For instance, a student might protest the war by writing a paper and presenting it to his or her class. You can protest war by practicing non-violence in your everyday life. Unfortunetly, this isnt enough to change the President's mind, but you can still do these small things to influence people. These people you influence turn around and influence others, and before you know it you've influenced a ton of people by just one small gesture. The trick is to make your argument clear and back it up by facts and try to relate the argument to those you're trying to influence. Sometimes not even big protests can stop a war, but you either get tired of fighting for peace, or you die trying.

There are many people protesting the war, try to stay a little better informed you ignorant twit. As far as those who are not protesting the war, they realize that the war against terror is right and justified and should not be protested. Yes, it does suck that our soldiers are dying, but they are not dying in vain.

What is there to protest ? Would you prefer that the Muslim creeps blow up buildings all around you ?
If it weren't for the fact that Ben Laden's followers are kept busy trying to stay alive, they would continue what they started in New York and Washington on Sept II. It wasn't a one-shot deal with them. Ben Laden said he was going to turn America into a Muslim nation by killing off anyone who would not convert.
You don't like what America is doing . Is it that you'd rather let Ben Laden have his way ? Allahu akbar. peace on him.

If you believe that no one is protesting, it may be because the US media is very screwed up. France is reporting more about protests.. (I have lived in both countries for the past year).
