From yahoo news:
Despite fall of Iraq regime, anti-war groups keep on marching
This sentence stood out:
Possibly the biggest European showing was half a million protesters on the streets of Rome, according to organisers, while a similar number turned out across Spain.
Half a million? Like, 500,000? This after the war has been going on for three weeks?
Compare this to the recent Iraqi demonstration that got literally hours of play on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc.
Not that we should be surprised, mind you. Maybe shocked, but not surprised.
