ROFL 2500? Thanks for proving my point. themoderntribune.com Biggest demonstrations since the 60's in many parts of the country for this new war. I don't know how you could have missed the press on this- but a qualitatively and quantitatively different atmosphere. Well documented- just look at the numbers. You've got your post- now look at the numbers for rallies against this current war. Anyone who can compare the numbers should see that this time was Bigger- that is all I said. But go ahead, disagree.... :-) I can't wait. mistersquid.com "Crowd estimates are often little more than politically tinged guesses. The police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, put the crowd at about 100,000, while the organizers said 400,000 people attended. Given the sea of faces extending more than a mile up First Avenue and the ancillary crowds that were prevented from joining them, it seemed that something in between was probable. There were similar though smaller demonstrations in Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Sacramento, Miami, Detroit, Milwaukee and scores of other American cities, organized under the umbrella of United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of 120 organizations." And though the Seattle demonstration was "smaller" it was still many times the size of anything during Desert Storm. To quote Mr. Bush- "I consider the case closed."
