did you consider the protests you are celebrating weren't possible in Iraq until America decided to take action and remove saddam? And the numbers I've read about the Iraq protest indicated 20,000 to 30,000 people attended, when Sadr was calling for half a million. Two years after the fall of Saddam tens of thousands of Shiite protestors poured into central Baghdad yesterday to demand that US troops leave Iraq. gulf-news.com 20,000 aint that much in Baghdad (a city of ~5 million). Lebanon (country population ~3.7 million) supposedly delivered half a million to demand Syrian withdrawal. 20,000 protestors sounds like a small proportion of the expressing their view, which, as we all know, is a good byproduct of freedom.
