Reply #10: Susan Sarandan spent her own money on TV commercials to ask

[No Elephants]

why we were talking about invading Iraq.

I remember a line something like, "If we are going to go war with Iraq, I'd like to know why first. Wouldn't you?"

She had a lot to lose from that, too, well beyond what the commercials cost her.

Many others began protesting the invasion as soon as Dummya started threatening it, from the pre-invasion period forward.

We invaded in 2003. Cindy Sheehan did not start her protest until 2005.

My favorite Iraq war protest, though? The shoe throwing Iraqi journalist. However, that was near the end of Dummya's reign, well after Cindy started her protest.
