War Protests - Again!

I am a child of the 60's. Images of war protests are burned into my memory. So when I saw on the news anti-ware protest about Iraq, I started to flash back to the Vietnam era.

Hundreds of young adults filling the street. Some with their fists raised in the air chanting some anti-war slogan. Others were carrying sign liking President Bush to Adolf Hitler. All of them angry about our current governments actions of violence.

From San Francisco to New York, including nine other cities across the United States. A well plan group of protest of a level I have never seen. Of course that is the result of the internet. Websites, emails, and instant messaging bring together like minded people to such a massive protest.

Like every anti-war protest police were busy with crowd control. Arrest of the unruly ones are part of any respectful protest. Even rain could not dampen the resolve to yesterdays protesters.

What will the result of these leader?
