Maybe it is because they think this time they are protesting against someone who might actually listen (something I doubt myself), as opposed to Saddam who would just gas them with the rest of the people. This time around they might actually make a difference, now the war is being perpetrated by a western nation it has much more international power both in opposers of the war and the wargoing countries themselves. You think saddam would give two shits who protested against him? NO. But the media and international pressure makes those supporters of the war listen to their counterparts this time around and people are taking advantage of that fact.

Hiho J&SB, have we talked before? If not, howdy [img]smile.gif[/img]
The discussion Moiraine and I were having is wether hollywood boobs, and/or the Nobel awardee's knew their behind from a hole in the ground when it comes to things that they are not expert in. Nobel prizes are given for significant achievments in a particular field, so that means they are experts recognized in that field, doesnt mean they are any more knowledgable about afairs of state, international Intelligence matters or WoMD programs run by dictator states.
It is fine to protest in a country where you are safe and secure and know that you won't be shot for voicing dissent, it is a whole different thing to defend a dictator while slandering and disparaging a leader of a western democratic nation. Unfortunatley that is what many of the protestors are doing. A lot of the protestors and posters here even ignore the facts and just say that they are all fiction, it is truely very sad.
