No way is that "hundreds of thousands". Not even a single hundred thousand, IMHO.
Hundreds of Thousands? That would be at least 200,000. Even the most cursory glance would tell you there isn't anywhere near 200,000 people there.
Anyone care to estimate how many people are actually in this picture? There seems to be some cars in the picture that could be used as a reference to determine the square footage. How many people standing per 100 square feet?
There are quite a few people there, but nowhere near 200,000.
We can't respond to the "streets" because it will cost American lives and treasure. If we wait till we are attacked it will be too late.
This has been allowed to drag on too long. If Dubya does not act, and act soon, he is done for as a viable polititical entity. Making this a UN problem was a mistake and we should never make it again --when our vital interest is at stake we need only those allies who are willing to face the music of international opiinion.
