Question

Mass US protest against Iraq war

Jane Fonda: "I'm so sad that we still have to do this"
Tens of thousands of protesters have demonstrated in Washington to demand the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
The rally comes days before Congress is to discuss President George W Bush's new strategy for Iraq - including the despatch of 21,500 additional troops.

The protesters, chanting "Bring the troops home", were joined by Vietnam War-era protester, actress Jane Fonda.

Violence continued in Iraq on Saturday, with at least 15 killed in a suicide bomb attack in a Baghdad market.

Answer 1

It is yet another reminder of how Bush has disregarded the will of the people. During Vietnam, another bloody, pointless war, why didn't the government listen? Unfortunately, it took years for the government to finally remove our troops from Vietnam. It will not, however, take years, after Bush is gone, to do the same for our soldiers in Iraq.

It reminds me of the part in the movie "Nixon" when the president has wondered off from the White House and he is at the Lincoln Memorial trying to put everything about the war into perspective. As the sun rises over The Mall, you see there are many people camping on the steps of the memorial, in sleeping bags, etc., and some of them wake up finding President Nixon standing among them sort of half-witted. As several protesters began to yell at him, one lady steps in, after seeing his personal condition, without the assistance of advisers and photographers, and she points out what a small, pathetic man he is, and not the warmonger they have been led to believe he is. Finally, she realizes he can't stop the war machine in Vietnam, even if he is the president.

Does this explain Bush? I am not sure this machine has gotten so far out of control that it cannot be reeled into obedience again.
