A lot of people were out there protesting including me. These turned out fo be the last real political events I attended before I fell ill.
But the media wouldn't waiver one bit, they shut down coverage and if any media light was shone on the protest it was through a prism to make those protesting appear to the be the scarlet other.
Every time I went to a protest it was populated by people from all walks of life including many clerics and middle class people frightened into protesting this vanity war.
I was hopeful but was never truly optimistic about stopping the glee for revenge that ran rampant through the media.
The media was tighter back then, more in control of the delivery of news. Plus the right wing media machine was still ascending and ready to take the "Conservative" message beyond their normal audience.
It's a horrible time to look back on, it's a disgraceful chapter in our history and I firmly believe that this particular war will prove to be the tipping point for the fall of the American Empire.
