Protesting is bearing witness against injustice. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. It doesn't matter. What matters is that someone says that you are not getting a free ride on this, that no one cares. In Canada, mass protests kept us out of the war. The protest was not in favour of Saddam or against Iraq. It was against one nation (or two, including Britain) deciding to go to war just because it felt like it. Nothing that has happened subsequently has changed that. If I were in Britain I would be out on the streets (probably because hotel prices are so high (joke)).
