If the American people really wanted to end the Iraq occcupation...

...why aren't there ten or twenty thousand people protesting against it in front of the White House 24 hours a day 7 days a week? Because that would do it.

If all the Code Pink and MoveOn people plus others were there this occupation would come to an end. Might see some protesters getting their heads busted with police batons on live television, but that alone would change some minds in a hurry.

We, myself included, appear pretty passive about this.

1. We have jobs. That pay our bills and can't take weeks off to protest.

I agree there should be more protesting.

Ahhh... I miss the dirty, jobless hippies.


Just kidding DU hippies.

[NNN0LHI]

2. Those didn't look like jobless Hippies protesting outside Gores residence in 2000

They looked like Freepers.

Regardless, they got the job done.

There were way more than that at bush's first inauguration and nary a peep in "the liberal media".

Will you pay for my medical bills, my lawyer,..get me a new job...pay the next months rent..pay for my divorce...come babysit the kids? Now..if the protest were local... but you did not see me getting my head busted on t.v...would that count?
