I strongly disagree with this assertion. Although there may be no mass protests happening, Americans voiced their outrage at the war loud and clear in the election. Voting out the war cheerleaders is a much more effective way to bring about change than a protest, and the voters should be commended for that. Instead of assuming that Americans don't care about the war, how about if we assume that Americans want to give the Democrats some time to fix the mess. They're well aware that Bush can't/won't hear them no matter how loudly they yell, so they spoke instead by voting Bush's party out of power.

The American people have been continually assaulted with lies and more lies by the abomination that is the Bush Administration. This dictatorship is still running on its steady course of destruction, and the American people have tried to stop and redirect our government by voting in Democrats. Unfortunately, the Democrats instead of seizing the moment of victory as a clear mandate from the people to oust this malignancy from our nation, concede from the get go that they will not impeach! This is more insanity and a betrayal of those of us that voted for REAL change. I cannot begin to express my outrage at Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and others who immediately stated that they looked forward to working cooperatively with the President. How do you cooperate with evil and with treason without becoming an accomplice yourself? And why would you want to?
Indeed, I am even more disgusted since it is becoming glaringly obvious that "We the People" are nothing more than a quaint notion, a distant memory of a country I love and no longer recognize. As for the protests, there are more than you will ever know since the mainstream media does not cover them nor do they do their jobs at keeping government honest by asking and investigating the truly tough questions. Where has the mainstream media been the last six years? When have they held Bush or any of his cronies accountable? Where is the investigative reporting? Where is the outrage among the so called "free" press? There is none outside of underground and alternative sources. The entire world knows there was no justification for the war on Iraq, and our continued presence there further destabilizes that nation and imposes greater suffering to its people. Our troops are being terribly misused and turned into goon squads fighting against civilians and patriots for the purposes of corporate greed. And the use of deployed uranium exposes all, soldiers and Iraqis alike, to toxins that will sooner or later kill them.
This insanity must stop, for the future of our nation and indeed the world.
