They are unappreciative and we shouldn't reward them by continuing a War that has no foreseeable end. We've been at war for over 5 years now, people seem to forget that. Every year we receive encouraging words from the President about progress in Iraq, yet nothing changes over there nor should we expect change. If you are at all familiar with Middle Eastern history, religious conflict and war in the region, then you know this is a war that we cannot "win" per se. The battle in D.C. has a lot more to do with the 2008 elections than people realize. The Iraq War is not about saving the Iraqi people anymore it is about saving our country, saving face, and positioning ourselves for bigger and better things. Here is an article on the <a href="http://whitehouser.com/2007/04/11/iraq-protest-conservative-crossroads/" rel="nofollow">Iraq Protest and changing direction</a>. My politics are a bit different than most. FYI: I'm a moderate living inside a conservative living inside a libertarian living inside a very politically confused liberal... ;) Thats the point, Iraq’s freedom and right to protest is directly related to our “holy war” as some call it.

Who was it that was protectingthe protestors? Who was it that made sure they could gather and yell and scream without fear of violence or retaliation? Oh yeah, that was us.
