What a difference three years make!

In 2003, as many as 500,000 Londoners protested the war in Iraq. Last Sunday, police estimated the crowd was about 15,000 people. The numbers fell drastically at other locations as well, Gateway Pundit has the details.

The declining numbers of protesters may prove disastrous for Democrat chances to score gains in the House and Senate in November. If Dems can’t keep their radical, anti-war base fired-up enough to go out and protest, it’s unlikely they can motivate them to vote.

I have to mention this Scottsdale Republic article on the two anti-war protesters that picketed U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth’s Scottsdale, Arizona office.

It was a very small army that protested the Iraq war Friday outside the Scottsdale offices of U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

Only two peace activists stood near Raintree Drive and Northsight Boulevard, holding anti-war posters for passing cars to see.

The protest, part of a national campaign to call attention to the human cost of the war, urged Hayworth, R-Ariz., to support legislation reducing the U.S. troop presence in Iraq.

“The ways of peace are not bombings and breaking into houses and scaring little children and families,” said Judy Whitehouse, 63, of Phoenix, adding that pulling troops out of Iraq would force Iraqis to work together in building a society.

Must have been a really slow news day.

And check out Michelle Malkin’s photos of peace protesters who can’t get a Peace symbol right, but nonetheless feel they’re qualified to tell us how to fight a war.
