Operation Iraqi Freedom is now 4 years old. Back around this time in 2003, the largest gathering of anti-war protesters in history convened around the world to put pressure on the United States not to remove a dictator from power. They didn’t march to put pressure on the dictator to give in to the will of the world at the United Nations. They protested the liberators not the oppressor. Protesting against dictators, terrorists, and thugs just seems to lack the same festival atmosphere. It’s so much more interesting, easy, (and a lot safer!) to protest against someone like President Bush.

1500 days or so later, there’s still a war going on in Iraq. People can say all they want about how it started, how it’s been fought, and how it’s going right now. Both sides of the political debate are pretty well entrenched and have their talking points in order by now (both facts and distorted facts). What’s most important, and what’s the least debatable is the path forward. That path forward from today to tomorrow, and in the next few years to come, is already spread out, already known, and it makes protesting against the war laughable at this point.

There are simple realities that the anti-war protesters do not recognize, but are quickly coming to understand:

IMHO, we dismiss the effect of the protesters at our own peril. The fawning over these clowns by the MSM does have a very dangerous consequence: the emboldening of the Islamonazi enemy, and the belief in their minds that if they hold out just a little longer and manage to spill just a little more American blood, they'll emerge victorious as the Vietnamese Communists did 32 years ago next month.

If it wasn't for the Internet and such brave citizens such as the Protest Warriors people would think the protests are all soccer moms from the suburbs and not radical socialists and marxists with their booths and anti American speeches.

Mrs. Bill Clinton has been saying that President Bush has made mistakes in the prosecuting of the war.

But she was an advocate for it in the beginning. She voted to give the president authority to take action against Saddam.


Was that a mistake? Is she going to admit during her campaign that she also made mistakes in prosecuting the war?

Oopsies.

People do not protest to change minds anymore.

They protest to whine and curse about the other side.
