To me, the millions gathering in Rome look like the anti-war protestors
and are probably the same in numbers. I would bet anything that at least 85% of the Pope's crowd are anti-war and anti-Bush.

Funny how the media exclaims gushingly over the millions there, and never gave even 60 seconds to the millions who gathered to protest Bush and the war here, especially in NYC and DC.

2. I'd guess most of that crowd is not anti-gay / anti-choice, but, like U2's
Bono, they are feting the Pope's calls for peace over bombs, and his attacks on runaway capitalism that ignores the worldwide poverty it causes.
