It must be teh sucks to be a peace protester now, knowing that everything you've said (and probably will say) has been utterly ignored and rejected, and that you were completely ineffectual in changing anything.

It's the nature of this country. There weren’t enough people that believed in what protesters were trying to do. If there were Bush never would have been in office, but through the right to assemble its an Americans duty to do what they think is right even if it is in opposition to the leader of our country. As to being ignored and ineffectual, it was expected. However it is disheartening that protesters were completely ignored by the administration as it is the governments duty to provide leadership to this country NOT polarize it.

This is hardly an ending. We still have to win a war, remove a dictator, rebuild a STABLE Iraqi government, repair mangled foreign relations, recover from wartime economy, defend against possible heightened terrorism and hope that this doesn't unify the Arab world against us.
