The anti-war/anti-occupation movement has been far bigger -- perhaps the biggest in history, counting participants worldwide -- under Bush than it was under Clinton.
That's because the wars and threat of future wars were bigger. If Bush decided to invade Iran, the antiwar movement would probably grow further - is that what you're hoping for?

Far from making more wars on its own, Washington is now re-mapping and down-sizing the empire, in Korea and Germany.
Smaller and manageable interventions concurrent with the occupation of Iraq -- e.g., Haiti -- have come with European support.
Washington will not invade Iran or Syria -- unless Israeli freelancing creates an "incident" that really goes out of control. -- Yoshie
