It really is quite different. The election issue, no matter what you think of it, was a legitamate issue of contention that spoke to the legitamacy of the administration. The conduct of the war which many legal scholars do indeed contend was illegal under international law is a legitmate issue of contention that people saw fit to protest.

Obama did win the election, by a pretty fair margin. And people are angry at him for doing *exactly what he said he would do* when he campaigned. That's not a protest, that's crying because you lost.

Actually -- at the risk of being a commercial -- that's fear of change.

It's a brave, new, world and the "Undiscovered Country" scares the bejesus out of some folk: those that fear things like Natural Selection.

Natural Selection?! You mean Evil-ution?

I loved listening to Bush talk about bird flu. You remember that? He would say "and the virus can mutate". MUTATE?! Do you mean evolve? Naaaaahhh.
