These don't sound like neighborhood rallies. The numbers are absolutely amazing.

(However, reminds me, I did once saw a photo about a rally in America of citizens who supported a war on iraq and it was like half a dozen people meandering around a picnic table in a park)

I think for a lot of people around the world, it's coming down to not wanting another war. Period.

But for some people, that's not a real argument, and these people know that, so instead of saying that, they use the other reasons.

Also, I agree with what Boyd was saying. There is a lot of spin on both sides and everywhere in between.
