...in Washington, D.C. I\'ve never been to the city before, nor have I ever been to a protest. Together, it was amazing. I got choked up a few times seeing signs saying "Proud of my soldier, ashamed of the war" or just witnessing the sheer vastness (CNN is saying around 100,000 people) of the movement.
Although I didn\'t agree with most of the \'resolutions\' being offered, i.e. impeach Bush or bring the troops home, it was refreshing seeing members of the military and families of the military speaking out against the direction this war has taken.
Cindy Sheehan said much of what she said in her letter to the president, Jesse Jackson did his regular rhetoric, but the best thing were the people. Young and old, but there were far more in plain-clothes than in dredlocks or tie-dye. It seems like an everyman movement rather than hippie-fueled. Very few black people though...
Seems like a pro-war demonstration today only drew around 400 people and they were expecting thousands. Is the tide of American sentiment finally changing?
