I'd just like to hear your thoughts on the event. Also, what do you think of the differing estimates of the number of people who showed up? Every news outlet has a different number.

I participated in a anti-war rally in Kansas City. About 300 people showed up, and I didn't see a single protester that was pro-war.

Not me but I certainly am not going to go against our President. I am really more concerned about the next administration. I don't plan on paying $20.00 for a gallon of gas I will tell you that though.
As for the War protestors they need to get out of the way. They rules of a strong military are lead follow or get out of the way.
People are gonna feel mighty funny when they are standing around arguing about rather we need money for defense spending, and bombs start falling on us.
This Nation is very gracious and you are gonna have problems in any big government. I am not filthy rich and I have served in the Us Army and you are gonna have casualities in any War especially a World War, so face it.
Our forefathers gave their lives in War in order for us to enjoy many years of freedom both black and white. Although when it comes to race issues it seems that the black american stands out. It seems that he is the apitiamy or the back for the burden of all people.
Well, black america can wake up to, I didn't see any other nations come running to demand freedom for the black man here in america. We worked it out ourselves and I don't appreciate the fact that people of other nations feel that they can just look down on black americans and think they are better than we are.
Hello, while serving in the Army, I had my life saved by a white guy and a Black guy, while on the streets and in the work place in america, I have had assistance from both black and white americans.
well, let me tell you, when and if the it comes out to a major war, I am not going to be standing around arguing with fellow americans. Hopefully, I will be drawing a bead on whomever gets froggy.
so lets get with the program and we as americans, dems and repubs, and all americans need to stay awake and stick together.
This is my county and this is my dialog to keep us awake and unite our people. Once, the war is over then we can do some more bickering if you want.
But if it is the Lord's will we will be together we it comes to protecting this great nation as always.
This is not the time for no protests and every soldier and servicemember took the oath under their own free will, just as I did. Although my life has been full of hard knocks, I have never given up on this Nation and my Parrents, raised me in the fashion that I never will.

I don't go to any protest. I don't think they do anything except get your face on the Tv for a second. Standing will a sign and yelling settles nothing. The only thing that will change things is voting. Or protesting by no one paying their taxes, or no one voting, or no one donating money to any political party. This will open our government's eyes and take the time to listen to our voices.

I was not participating in a protest but I did see one in San Diego this weekend.
I thought it was pretty funny because the people in the protest where totally stereotypicall protesters. They looked like they where hippies from the 60's. With a couple of gay pride flags in the center. Really funny signs like "No war for oil".
The protest was probably about 200 people which I suppose is decent size. The streets where packed for St. Patricks day and everyone around me was commenting about how silly these people looked and that they should shut up and go home. Which actually surprised me a bit because San Diego is a bit of a liberal city.
I kept my mouth shut and let them say their piece.

Indianapolis at the Circle War Memorial...There was about 5000 that were involved, but no OUTLAW BIKER GANG 1%ers. All were civil, and both sides were allowed their say. There were a lot of Wounded Soldiers from Iraq that said this war was a sham.

Very few total (all included). That tells me one of two things. One, either Americans don't care or two, it simply did not draw their attention to the point where they were willing to travel and take three days............................
