Pro-war activists don't need to show strength

Those who tend to support Bush and oppose Saddam tend to have families, jobs, responsibilities, and other things that prevent them from standing around waving a sign all afternoon. Like me, for example.

There may have been more pro-war demonstrators around the country. I'm certainly not going to find them by checking the news media.

That the Left is superb at organizing mass movements and mobs has been quite clear for years. Heck, it sounds like there are more leftist organizations in San Luis Obispo than there are citizens.

The fact that protests can be coordinated across the planet like this says a lot for the linkages and underlying alliances of seemingly unrelated groups. I suspect some digging into this would turn up some interesting things.

Besides, why should we demonstrate when most Americans already support our position? According to Newsweek, 63 percent of American support military action in general against Saddam.
