Why not?

And who says it is a contest? I would say it is a voice of the
majority.


You called the demonstrations angry. How so?

**********************

Majority isn't measured by the number of people willing to march in the
street.


You claimed just the opposite when the anti war demonstrations were
happening.


Everyone who is keeping score and comparing the number of pro-Syrian
vs. anti-Syrian demonstrators has created a contest.


The libs seem quite happy to report numbers when the protests are to their
liking. When the protests are not and greater numbers are counted some
folks tend to scream "no fair, you are creating a contest!" Do you know any
such person who would do that Chuck? ;-)


People who gather into huge groups, paint signs, and disrupt the normal
flow of traffic and commerce in a city are normally either 1)
Celebrating, (as in a 4th of July Parade) or 2) Protesting. Anger,
rather than joy, is the more common motivation beneath a protest.

I would agree when you are talking about the anti Bush and anti war
protestors.



The protests often help polarize a society, requiring people to "choose
sides". It's those same sides that may be shooting at one another 4-5
months from now.

If it means that peace will eventually be reached and the Syrians leave,
then that would be a good thing.
