Thank you. Perhaps (agree with us or not) it is because we left our comfort zones and took a public stand for something we believe in. I encourage any who agree with our stance to join us. For those that do not agree with us I encourage you (and all of us) to continue mature political discourse.

This is why, Vietnam brought war protests to new levels and George W. Bush's illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq has stirred American emotions again to levels not seen since that time of national turmoil. Bush's war brought Jane Fonda out of antiwar retirement and his Presidency has split this nation down the middle into a class war of right vs. left, liberal vs. conservative, partisan vs. patriot. As with the protests against the Vietnam War, both sides pay a numbers game. The protesters say more than 100,000 streamed into Washington's National Mall. Police and pro-war types say it was less. But one could say the count that mattered is a matter of record: Real American anger against Bush war that emerged last November when voters tossed out the corrupt and compliant Republican leadership of Congress and demanded an end to the Iraq war.

I don't know. Why did you admire all those Anti War protesters this past weekend?

Because they have the eye of the tiger to meet the challenge of survival.
At least those people are politically active. If the marches before the war started had worked, if our leaders cared what the public thinks -- we'd be in great shape.

because you realize they are good people and are out there for a good cause. if this was WW2 it would be different, but we all know this war is a farce, just a way for bush to avenge his daddy and take their oil. besides the fact that we could be doing a whole lot more with that money than spending 10 million on a bomb were gonna kill a bunch of civilians with

Support our troops, not the war. Politicians make the wars, we fight them. I admire them too. We need to protest. The government doens't listen to us very well, if at all. We need to make some noise.

maximum folk of protesters are non violent. as with every issues - there are continually some in each and every crowd who will use the social gathering as an excuse to act badly or pursue their very own schedule. you won't have the ability to label the entire protest or all protests as being violent based on the movements of this sort of small proportion ( if what you describe quite happened - i've got no longer heard that for the period of my view.).

Well--it could be because Americans are finally doing what our founding fathers intended: when they think the government is doing the wrong thing, getting out and raising some h**l! That's what free speech is all about.

I don't know.
At least you can question it. Because frankly, the last people you should hold admiration for are those neanderthals.
