What the hell are you talking about Yoshie? Did you join the hundreds of thousands at the RNC who marched against Bush and against the war? Do you go to the pro-Kerry blogs which are dominated as well by anti-Iraq war commentary?
And whatever you think of differences between Bush and Kerry, in the last debate Kerry made one definitive promise that Bush has not. Kerry said he wanted no permanent presence in Iraq, no permanent bases. That was a clear rejection of permanent occupation versus the neocons in the Bush administration who have pretty much stated that they see Iraq as the permanent military base for US hegemony in the Middle East.
And to be frank, who gives a shit if you get a stronger antiwar "movement" under Bush if you get a more pro-war government?
