<P>Tom,</P>
<P>After reading your post, I will try to make time to be at the rally. I am not getting more hawkish all the time; instead I am more filled with sorrow at the folly of our actions, and the fact that more people are going to die on both sides, in a war that is totally unecessary. Iraq didn't attack us on September 11, no matter how hard or loudly the Administration has tried to make the connection. Regarding your Hempfest crack, I won't be stoned. It's too cold still for my Birkenstocks. I may even shower first. I hope I can raise the attendance to 51. </P>
<P>Greg,</P>
<P>I won't speak for anyone else who plans to be at the protest, but here's my primary reason:</P>
<P>I fear this war is just the beginning. I think Syria or Iran will be next, perhaps North Korea. We are not creating a more stable world. If we head down this road, where will it end? I think the only way to get the Administration to reconsider is to make the political cost to them high enough. I do not want to sit back, only to later think "They mistook my silence for acquiescence."</P>
<P>So far the Administration hasn't cared about the opposition, but that doesn't mean we should go away. I am not so naive to think they will stop this war because of protests, but maybe we can do something about the next one.</P>
