That's an insanely far leap. In fact, they might be supporting JORDAN which doesn't want war, or maybe American youth who lives and health are in jeopardy by having to fight the war, or the United States of America by not relinquishing our life liberty and pursuit of happiness. The Viet Nam war was a mistake too and those who opposed it were supporting the best interests of this country, which were ultimately violated. And we are still paying for that mistake.

Whoah
This is getting downright serious
265,000 Reservists
US Troops on Turkish soil
Aircraft ,supplies,and control centers in S Arabia
Neighboring countries agreeing to supply oil to Kuwait
British there in full force (er, 25%)
Americans and others patrolling the no-fly zones for years with no complaints from neighboring countries that I know of
The extent of cooperation and agreements here is unheard of
The UN investigating everywhere
If war happens it is not only "Mr Bushes War" Its a joint venture to do what should have been done 12 years ago
And the chances of it happening seem to be increasing

"Who, ostensibly, are anti-war protestors supporting?"
Functionally speaking, that would be Saddam Hussein.


The obvious conclusion to those who think war is the only answer.

If you so characterize all those who disagree with you on this issue, there seems to be little else to discuss.

Oh, and btw, the correct answer is: "Americans."
