I would say the big difference with the marchers of today versus decades ago is who is financing them.

I doubt that any surviving commies have any spare money. However, Opecker Islamofacist killer thugs who control Iraq/Iran have tons of money.

Also, the countries addicted to the petro $'s of Iraq/Iran like France, Germany, Russia, and the ChiComs have a lot to lose if Saddam falls. France has a $50 billion industry just on Iraqi oil each year. Of course they make billions selling WMDs to the Islamofacist Killer/Thugs.

The old and basically powerless commies have made allies with their cash cow Islamofacists to finance these so called peace protests.

At the risk of sounding completely evil, let me paint an interesting scenario for you:

The Islamofacists are desperate to get their message out. In a certain sense, they are almost like the VCs during the dot.com 90s - literally throwing money at even the most ludicrous business plans.

What if one were to set up a front organization that purported to help the anti-war movement with the secret internal purpose of defrauding the 'investors'.

In fact, if one were to take it an additional step further, one could even supposedly 'help' organize demonstrations, but all the while actually helping sabotage their effectiveness, as well as collecting an interesting database of names/IDs for later sale to various security organizations.

Yes, it would be a dangerous game, but if one were successful, one could haul off a couple of $mil in no time, deposit it in Switzerland and disappear.

The thugs just have a new paymaster.
