With due respect to the ones who did not support the war, how many countries actually take such demonstrations into consideration before taking stupid decisions? Be it for large scale human destruction a.k.a. Iraq invasion or seeming useless, trivial but expensive city name change (Bangalore is now known as Bengalooru, the Karnataka chief minister is an idiot); the general population is usually sober and sensible. The politicians have an agenda and convince, no, try to convince the populace that it is the right decision. One almost wishes that "Man of the year" would really happen in US and other parts of the world. Off topic, did anyone see that movie? Robin Williams is hilarious, reminiscent of his broadway stand up on HBO.
