"I agree with Jackie, you are not
going to stop the war by holding up a Peace sign and demonstrating. You want to make changes,
write your representatives and VOTE."

Well, holding a peace sign is not more productive than waving a flag. Most protesters are part of larger organisations that ARE doing more by having letter writing campaigns, dissimenating information, supporting candidates for local elections that represent their views, etc.

Also, this "war" is creating so many Bin Ladens that we will have to deal with in 20-30 years.
