"Anti-War Anniversary Protests a Bust

In Australia... Saturday's protest of 500 people was small compared to the mass demonstrations that swept across the country in the buildup to the invasion — the largest Australia had seen since joining U.S. forces in the Vietnam War."

So what went wrong? Is Saturday a bad day to do protests? Media didn't do it's job of promoting it??
I mean there isn't a shortage of clueless people.
For example in Spain they got 25,000 kids together to drink booze:
"MADRID (Reuters) - Thousands of teenagers and students swarmed onto Spanish streets on Friday for mass drinking sessions, defying legislation introduced to stop the binges known as "botellones." "

Where is the creativity? Why not combine a "botellone" with Anti-war protest.

I think know the problem. Deep down in the lizard section of their brains, they know that the occupation in Iraq is over. So this ending the occupation thing doesn't work anymore. So my idea is they should instead hold a peace march with major theme of "bringing home the troops" AND a "botellone".
