To protest or not to protest
That is the question.
Protests have been happening worldwide today in opposition to war. I know in Toronto there were 2, one led by students on my own campus.
The thing is, regardless of my stance on war/peace, I just don't really see the purpose behind protesting. Canada is not involved in the war. They aren't protesting Canada's involvement. Protesting on a Toronto street, not in front of the House of Commons, not in front of parliament, miles and miles away from our Prime Minister, I just don't see what wil come of it. It will not change George W. Bush's mind as to attack and it will not Hussein's mind as to surrender.
A protest for peace. While the idea sounds nice, it just feels futile and hopeless in times like these.
