The official rally and march in New York City drew about 200,000 people, while spontaneous rallies and marches were formed in such places as Washington D.C. that had hundreds of thousands attending. This is in spite of the mainstream media's 24 hour coverage of the war that helps the government give the impression of a speedy war. A quick war implies a victory, but denies the fact that a "shock and awe" tactic means increased bombings and more civilian deaths. "Shock and awe" and "surgical strikes" is a contradiction in terms.

On another note, the Oscars are tomorrow. If any war news preempts the ceremony, it just shows that only an idiot son of the American elite as president can ruin the Oscars. Either that, or Chicago winning all its nominations. I will literally hit my head against the wall if Chicago wins.
