Subject: RE: BS: We're not against the soldiers.
Just a clue:
Back in January of last year, I attended the massive demonstartion in Wsahington, D.C. against attacking Iraq. There were at least 300,000 people there. The Washingotn Post said tens of thousands. They gave as much press time to the 20 or so Bush people.
The demonstration in October 2001, the same, except this time the demonstartion didn't even make the front page but on page A-17 there it was and the same 20 Bush folks got as much press...
It's all about images and advertising and right now the hawks own the microphone, the nespapers, the television stations, ClaerChannel, the governemnt and everything else that is used to manipulate the masses.
