Protests!




I have seen signs all over London protesting the Iraq War. It seems to be more visibly unpopular here than in States. I'm not qualified to say why nor will I use this forum to press my opinion. As an avid student of history I am well aware that the popularity of war wanes the longer the war rages. Whispers of change becomes screams of revolution. These pics remind me of a quote from President Eisenhower.


"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
