Our protests were instrumental in turning the tide and in building support for the Congressional efforts to cut off funding.. But the point of my post wasn't that we didn't have an impact. It was that we never seriously attempted to shut down everything. Even during the "moratorium" protests. And while those protests had a significant effect, they did not result in an immediate end to the war.
