    I am having trouble understanding why you do not already have
    more than enough information about the processes so far and the
    stated objectives to cleanly judge whether this call to war is
    reasonable or not. I do not understand exactly why you group
    the marchers as a separate entity separate from and clearly not
    you. The marchers are from all walks of life and all points on
    the political spectrum. They are united only in believing this
    war is unjustified.
