We tried the peace demonstrations, both against Vietnam and Iraq. They didn't work. The worldwide demonstrations against the pending Iraq war were the largest in history, they didn't work. They didn't translate into political power. The Vietnam war did not end because Nixon turned into a peace loving hippy, it ended because activists elected anti war congressmen in '70 & '72, and proceeded to cut the funding for the war.
Most Dems in Congress were afraid of looking "unpatriotic" when they voted for war in 2002. We lynched Iraq and almost lynched those who tried to stop the lynching. Although anti-war Dems got elected in 2006 & 2008 they didn't have the balls to cut the $ for the Iraq war.
Almost all of congress is ready to lynch Iran today based on the same propaganda as the Iraq War.
When all of JFK's military recommended attaching Cuba, they didn't know about the Nuke Warheads on the Island. They were planning to ignited a Nuclear War. Only one advisor had the courage to take a stand for diplomacy and prevented Nuclear War.
Since most people don't know the name of their congressman never mind how they vote on war/peace issues, they get away with murder. If you want to find out if your congressman is voting for war or peace, check out PeaceActionWest.Org
If you need to take a test to see if you have the knowledge to drive a car, why do these clowns get a free pass on the knowledge test when it comes to driving the most lethal military machine in human history?
In reference to " Obama also wants to begin wrapping up, with a planned 30,000 troop reduction in the first half of 2012." Didn't Obama announce that he would pull out 10,000 of the 30,000 by the fall of 2011 or "end of the fighting season" and the remaining 20,000 of the 30,000 "surge" at the end of the summer/fighting season in 2012 ?
