It was mostly about that. Some folks try too hard and end up making everyone else look silly. But I have to say that I have never seen a protest where most of the folks were just like my neighbors, or the people you run into at the supermarket. Al

Everyone seems to have their little axe grind, and agenda to promote. The only reason they're together is they ALL oppose the war in Iraq. I agree with you, I wish when they're opposing the war, they wouldn't co-opt the little attention they get to promote their own agenda. It weakens the anti-war message.

John. the war is going to end. Not fast enough for any of us here. but it will end. U know. I used to justify that people hadn't 'suffered enough' and therefore they could never understand and walk in the shoes of the truly beaten and suffering. U know. I can't say that any more. The people in NO and the gulf coast have suffered. They have been beaten. Big change has happened. Big Suffering. The wheels of change will come. It takes time.

Al, I wish the groups would stick to the anti-war message and leave the rest of the "liberal agenda" behind. One goal at a time... the war needs to ne ended, now. Anti-war message? It is more accurate to label your view as the "no deployment of US troops outside of US soil" message. If US troops leave Iraq today, the consensus view is that civil war is more likely, not less. So the "anti US troop presence" movement is not an "anti-war" movement. It's better described as a "let them go to war, we don't want to be involved" movement. It doesn't sound as attractive or as politically correct, but that's the fact.

Read between the lines time,..... U.S. releases hundreds of Abu Ghraib detainees msnbc.msn.com The U.S. government said it only releases detainees who are not guilty of serious, violent crimes -- such as bombing, torture, kidnapping, or murder -- and who have had admitted their crimes, renounced violence, "and pledged to be good citizens of a democratic Iraq." No one gets a trial, right, so none of them are guilty.... The officials asked the Iraqi government to start releasing thousands of prisoners who have been languishing in the jail for months without being charged with a crime.
