6. It's not the number of people who march that counts.
It's the number of people who BELIEVE the war is a disaster and vote accordingly in 2006.

Consider this:

1. This war was launched on the pretext of it being a defensive response to Sept. 11.

2. We've been there only 2 years.

3. As the article points out, there is no draft.

4. We've lost "only" 1600 soldiers (much smaller figure than during Vietnam) so far. Most people don't yet know a young person who has died in Iraq.

And 47% of Americans already think the war was a mistake. Maybe it won't take 15 years before people demand we end this nightmare.

The anti-Iraq-war movement is actually making relatively good progress.
