doesn't matter how many people attended, it really doesn't, lbosters carping about turnout is one indication that it doesn't matter, folks who are ostensibly on the same side make issue of such things when they are powerless, larger turnout is *better* than smaller turnout, but better is relative/situational/contextual, so 300,000 (or 150,000 or 450,000) would be prefereable to 30,000 (or 15,000 or 45,000), but the number the other day - whatever it was - will neither contribute to nor detract from existing anti-war sentiment (there ain't a movement at present)... mh
