Millions protest North Korea starving their people to death while the leaders party.

Oppppppps. Didn't protest that. My mistake. I'll try again.

Millions protest Saudi Arabian executions without fair trials, torture, and their subhuman treatment of women.

Oppppps. Didn't protest that. I'll get it right this next time.

Opppppps! Once again, they didn't do that.

Millions protest Than Shwe of Burma's use of 11 year old soldiers, and his widespread use of forced labor within his dictatorship.

Opppppps! Not true. Didn't happen. They didn't protest that. Will try again.

Millions protest Saddam Hussein's use of poison gases on his own people, his butchery of tens of thousands of Kurds and Shiite Muslims.

Damn, it! Wrong again. I'm sure I'll get it right this time.

Millions protest America's sons and daughters, for fighting and dying, to save the Muslims of Kosovo.

Could they be protesting this?

Perhaps the protesters are protesting that?

They must be protesting American sacrifices for Kuwait, right?

Damn, it! Of course not! I'll try again.

Millions protest America's sons and daughters, for fighting and dying, during the cold war, to save the world from conquest by the USSR.

Millions protest America's sons and daughters, for fighting and dying to protect the world, from Saddam Hussein's regime, one of the worst butchers, and one of the most dangerous supporters of terrorism in the world.

Could it be that?

Albert, if Arabs and Jews were living together in the same areas, the militant religious groups you mention would end up killing their own children along with the Israelis. Do you think they'd go for that route to heaven?
