Rise of the pro-war movement?

I recently posted about the death of the anti-war movement. Now we have signs of the rise of the pro-war movement.

This past Saturday, we raised the bar even higher.

In the words of KNSD (NBC) reporter Steve Walker:

It began as an anti-war protest, but turned into a pro-troop “Victory Vigil” downtown today. The San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice protested at 10th and “A” Streets. They’re against the war in Iraq, and skeptical of the handover of power.

But the tables turned on them today, when others turned out to support American troops, and the handover of sovereignty. The counter-protestors say they stand by the war in Iraq...

Here’s the punch line: the other side had notified the media, but we got all the coverage.
