As an American, I have always thought the war in Iraq was a terrible idea. That being said, I think this article is disingenuous. If anything, the disparity in participation in these protests is a sign that democratic reform in Iraq has been meaningful: a protest of this size under Saddam would have been inconceivable, because its participants would have been imprisoned, tortured, and/or killed.
