    Are you confused about which comment thread you’re in? You said initially that the protests 20 years ago of the Iraq War were impotent and I pointed out that the US Involvment in Iraq sharply declined as a result of those protests, despite anti-NATO religious extremism presence growing in the region for many of the following years.

      The protests didn’t do anything to that, it was the insurgency causing a steady supply of body bags to come back.
