What are you saying?

Are you saying this casual million, I'm spinning, represents the only
people
who would have marched had they been able to, or had it been more
convenient
for them to do so?

You cannot produce any evidence to suggest that the numbers who
demonstrate(d)
represent anyone but themselves. You are attempting to extrapolate those
numbers into a much larger mass who, for one reason or another cannot,
or
decided no to, demonstrate.

There is sufficient information by way of polls, both before and after the
war, to get
the measure of public opinion.

Before the war, a pro-war majority was predicated on UN support -- without
it,
pro-war opinion was about 25%. Post war, support has fluctuated, but the
country
is pretty much split down the middle. (A substantial majority of the
public now
believe they were lied to). That's what the polls have said -- not your
feelings.

If now half the country does not support the military action that was
taken, are
you then asserting that none of that anti-war opinion has any support for
the
demonstrators?
