It doesn't matter. We have the world's most powerful GOD, GWBush, saying war is necessary for peace; so strap on an M16 and spread love everywhere.
This is a better starting place for the protest slideshow
I noticed that the evening news used the word "hundreds" to describe the size of the protest crowds. Also they neglected to mention how many cities held protests across the globe. The reported #s are always disputed, but there is a clear effort to downplay these protests.
