Can you please get a grip? Bigger protests happen in Washington, DC, several times every year. There were a number of anti-war protests in 2003 that were estimated as having between 100,000 and 200,000 participants. We don’t know how many protestors were in this recent Baghdad protest (the article just says "thousands"), but presumably you’re not going to let the facts stand in the way of your prejudice.
The left will only be able to prevail if we are credible. Just randomly saying emotionally charged, but hideously stupid, things like "a similar protest would be impossible in Washington!" just encourages people to view us as bozos, because that’s the sort of stupid thing a bozo says.
