100,000? possibly 25% of that number would be accurate. Funny how they had to start breaking the law for police to finally do something as thier mere presence didnt seem to have any effect and thier presence was marginalized by a near equal number of troop supporters lining the streets. Too bad we cant send thier sorry A**es to Iraq to serve as shields for the troops

Hi groovy, Here is the full link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070916/ap_on_re_us/iraq_war_protest Also a link to the quoted speaker for the counter-protesters mentioned in the article: http://www.buzzpatterson.com/ I still fear that the division in America over the war will turn worse than the '60s if the presidential candidate on both sides don't take a stand on the extremist statements. Our nation will be hurt but it will hurt of guys and gals in uniform even more. Why don’t the members of military.com all make a promise that will stand against anyone or any organization that preaches this stuff. OK, I know we have both extremes herein, but at least think about it. Oh, yes, we all need, especially me, to remember to “play nice” with each other. At least that’s the way this old soldier and proud Coast Guard dad sees it! A listening ear, a caring heart, an open mind and an extend hand may be all I can offer, but they are yours without charge or judgment. |

There are those who have NOTHING better to do with their lives on a beautiful Saturday afternoon than to protest an unpopular war - OMG did I say that outloud?
 War is unpopular? (DUH!!!!) - to make some non-essential statement and their thoughts were apparently all over the board. Even their disdain for President Bush and the Iraq war couldn't unify them....9/11 theorists Bush haters Iraq war haters Isreal haters Hummer haters and of course, my personal favorite, the sign begging for someone to give the president a blow job so they could impeach him....  (yawn) |

Ineresting, "to say the least", or is it "to say the most"? I never know which is correct.  A listening ear, a caring heart, an open mind and an extend hand may be all I can offer, but they are yours without charge or judgment. |

Just like a dollar dosen't go as far as it used to, 100,000 people sure dosen't look like it used to.

Did anyone lobby for giving Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Crocker more resources for nation-building? If not, the actions of both sides were equally irrelevant to winning the war. Equally harmful to our soldiers, in fact.   AFAICT, Michelle Malkin and her fellow ideologues will do and say *anything*---no matter how harmful to the war effort and to the unity of our nation---provided it helps them make as much money as Rush and Ann Coulter. This wasn't right-versus-wrong. It was wrong-versus-wrong. |

Both sides had stagnant showing. It just goes to show that people have better things to do than to stand by what they preach. By better things to do, I mean sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

I disagree. Compare: Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson: "Congress, quit playing games with our troops. Terrorists, we will find you and kill you," he said. "And to our troops, we're here for you, and we support you." with: Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan: "It's time to lay our bodies on the line and say we've had enough," she said. "It's time to shut this city down." Seems to me the high ground (and the positive message) belongs to the GOE. |
