Don't forget that the last Gulf War was very good for CNN, and incoming Scuds, outgoing Patriots and Air-to-surface missile control system cameras give you much sexier footage than a bunch of plain people of all ages, nationalities and creeds demonstrating so peacefully that the police can't even justify cracking a few skulls.

By the way, if it hadn't been for US-based Mudcat, I wouldn't have known about the demo taking place here in Brussels, "capital of Europe".
