 Tens of thousands of anti-war protesters converged on Washington on Saturday evening to demonstrate their opposition to the U.S. occupation of Iraq. With the American occupation facing stiff resistance on the streets of Iraq, the resurgence of the U.S. anti-war movement is an especially welcome development. Moreover, it's a reminder to those who've willfully forgotten that many, many Americans are actively opposed to the aggressive foreign policy of the Bush regime. Protesters travelled from more than 140 cities and towns across the U.S. and Canada. Ramsey Clarke and Martin Luther King III were among the speakers. Meanwhile, thousands also attended a similar demonstration in San Francisco. |

Majority of protestors were students.
FACT!
Those who were not students were not protesting against the concept of warfare, some are the very same people who supported the war.
FACT!
This is not a breakthrough for the AntiWar movement, this is the customary protest of relatives of troops, their grievance is understandable.
FACT!
We'll always have war, don't delude yourself that it can be otherwise.
Calling something a FACT! does not make it a FACT!
Yeah, four sentences, and shouting the word 'fact' (by putting it in capitals) four times, does not really amount to a comprehensive analysis of the story.

fact "under-rated" : we shall always have peace.
fact "under-valued" : we shall always have each other.
fact "under-estimated" : we shall always be remarkably complex and intelligent.
