To solidify your perceptive observation regarding the possibility of protest in Washington, one need only learn about the protests against the Republican National Convention in New York City, 2004 presidential elections. Not only did the mainstream media overlook the size of the protest, but many Americans were detained on Pier 51 in an old bus depot reportedly abandoned due to toxins like asbestos, etc., contained within. Our own government arrested (I believe) over 2000 citizens, incarcerated many for over 3 days without allowing them their constitutional rights. America is not the country it used to be nor our citizenry as cognizant and upright as they once were!!! As an American and a Christian I DO NOT agree with the policies and supposed ’morals’ of this administration. I was against American occupation from the start. I’m sorry many of my fellow Americans have closed their eyes and ears by watching the mainstream media and not truly questioning the motives and tactics of this administration. Bring our troops home and give the Iraqi people space to rebuild and once again govern themselves.
