Given all the peace orgs in existance in the US, obviously there were protests. Were they smaller? Were there fewer? Undoubtedly.

Not if it's true it doesn't. OK, but not applicable here because obviously there was at least one person who protested against these engagements.

You're protesting something the gov't is or isn't doing. That's political.
Nice sidestep ;-). Clearly what you were saying, and I was responding to, is that the protestors can be dismissed because they are motivated by the political stripe of the President, D or R (ie. not a single person protested against any of Clinton's acts because he was D, they are protesting against Bush's because he's R). Again, obviously there are many protestors who act because they do or don't agree with the government's policy on involvement in this or any other engagement, or because they believe no cause is worth war (Quakers, for example). Are there protestors who are there because Bush is R? Of course there are.

Yet with Clinton there was not a peep.
Wasn't it domestic pressure that forced the withdrawl from Somalia?

You say Iraq is no threat?
I didn't say that, actually; don't know why you think I said anything at all about that.
