I was reading about 10,000 or so demonstrators spread out among a few towns
exercising their right to promote what they want. Suddenly this 10K speaks
for 25,000,000 Iraqis and the entire process is in the dumper? Did the few
thousand peaceniks demonstrating in SF, London, DC and elsewhere suddenly
change the course of events? Did the 10K Iraqis (largely unreported by the
mainstream press), demonstrating against the terrorist attacks in Iraq last
month, suddenly bring those attacks to a halt? Get real.
