You are contributing to bringing about exactly the outcome you don't want.

There will be 1 of 2 outcomes to this:

1. Saddam will quit or be overthrown.

2. Failing that, Bush will invade. He already has Congressional authorization. He has already said he will go it alone if necessary. He is already moving troops. Do you really think he will back down now?

Ain't gonna happen. You mistake your man if you believe that.

What these peace marches do is give Saddam hope that there will be enough disorder and civil disobedience in the US to either keep Bush from invading or to halt an invasion once it starts.

The next Congressional elections aren't until Nov 2004 and the new Congress doesn't begin until Jan 2005. That gives Bush 2 years to do his will without facing a new Presidential election or a hostile Congress. Keep in mind the GOP has control of both houses of Congress. Your chances of getting a rescission of the use of force authorization is ZILCH. All you can do is encourage Saddam- -which increases the chance of war.

Think about THAT.
