Evidentially, one is not supposed to protest at all - based on the premise being correct.

Fortunately, the premise is not correct, and protesting brings to the forefront to Bush that there is not just his own school of thought when it comes to Iraq.

Protesting demoralizing the troops - possibly - but enough to make those troops lose a war - well, if loud voices can be the determination between winning and losing a war, that says little for our soldiers.

I've heard that in Iraq, dissension is increasing among the troops themselves, and that it has nothing to do with what they hear from home. They (the troops) are sick and tired of this war.

In this argument, the neocon knows that truly, what is feared with Iraq is not worth committing nearly two thousand lives toward. But as their commitment to Bush hazes and convolute what is right and wrong, their belief in the Iraq War grows increasingly tenuous. I believe neocons fear the protesters might push them over the edge by telling them something that they cannot admit to themselves - that the war indeed is wrong.
