But I'm a harder sell on the protest. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't want to end the war. But I've been going to these little affairs since we were protesting the war in El Salvador and I know what to expect.

A few hundred of the usual people and a few dogs will gather at one of the usual places to listen to the usual speakers make the usual speeches. There will be a blessing from a non-traditional faith. Someone will equate this cause with the struggles of the oppressed and peoples of color at home. A few dozen copies of The Socialist Worker will be passed out. A tie-dyed character with an acoustic guitar will sing some of the usual songs. People will admire one another's antiwar buttons.

And the war will go on.
