So...Where are they?

Did I miss it? Is the war in Iraq over? Did all of our troops come home? Did we come to some kind of accord in Afghanastan? Of course not! So, where are all the anti-war protesters? Where is Code Pink? Where's Cindy Sheehan? Where did all those who parked their silly butts outside Bush's Ranch go?

The fact is that they all went home. To me it was never so much about being anti-war than being anti-Bush. Those people weren't around when Clinton engaged us in a war in Kosovo. It just seems to me that if you are truly anti-war, you are anti-war. No maybe's; sometimes; and certainly not only-when-you-feel-like-it anti-war. If you are truly anti-war you would be against what is happening in the Gaza Strip or in the Sudan. There are plenty of wars to protest. Actually, it could be a full time job. But only in America is being anti-war so selective. Aren't they special?
