this account of the antiwar demonstrations yesterday:
The American crowds ranged from about 350 in Times Square to several thousand in San Francisco. And in contrast to the vociferous rage of demonstrations two years ago, yesterday's protests were mostly somber and low-key, with marchers carrying cardboard coffins in silence to the beat of funereal drums, with rally speakers alluding often to the war dead and subdued crowds keeping behind police barriers.Losers, every single one of them. The good news is that there are a lot fewer than in 2003. It might have something to do with the war being over.
