<br/><br/> "Presidents back to Franklin Roosevelt have dismissed anti-war protests, much like George W. Bush did in declaring he wouldn't be swayed by the millions of people around the world who gathered last month [Feb. 2003] to protest a looming American-led invasion of Iraq." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article discusses the impact of anti-war protests on foreign policy, comparing demonstrations against an invasion of Iraq with those during the Vietnam War and discussing how "Vietnam taught us how long-running social rifts can have a profound effect on society."
