Answer: -
it wasn't "popular" - no TV cameras, no interviews on CNN.
If they SERIOUSLY want peace - they should have been protesting Saddam - not the U.S. and 100% of the UN that signed 1441.
I think that disproves the protesters efforts for what they are.

I have a very specific answer to why people protest around the world. America's foreign policy and aid to Israel are the two direct reasons why people dislike America.
You are wrong about Saddam. Saddam isn't exactly as bad as you may think. Never the less, I wouldn't want to be ruled by him either. But you might hear Bush tell you that he has slaughtered his "son." You must understand the fact that he never killed his son, he killed his son-in-law which has no blood relation to him. You might also want to seek out why he killed him, I'm sure you'd be surprised. You can't continuously be misled by the media like CNN. You have to read both sides of the story. Always read stuff from more then 2 different sources & sides, then formulate your opinion.
You also probably believe the Government when they tell you that Saddam has gassed his own people. First off, he never gassed his own people. It was the Kurds that were gassed (who oppose him) and it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds. Draw your own conclusions from that. No evidence exists that it was Saddam's regime who performed the horrific act, but Bush will draw certain conclusions in order to sway public opinion as he see's fit. Why do you think every piece of evidence that Bush supposedly presents, the Russians, Chinese, French, and German's don't take it seriously? Here's an article from the New York times if you don't trust my word about the gassing...

Back to the Russian's, German's, Chinese, and French. You want to know why they don't take one word seriously? It's simple. The Government of the USA and Britain manipulate intelligence information. Fortunately, some people in the intelligence agency are actually human and have decided to speak out against their own Governments manipulation of intelligence in order to justify war in Iraq.
