Mar 7, 2023 at 21:45 comment added got trolled too much this week Given that that Libcom site says "100,000 marched against war in London" but origimbo's answer puts it at 20-30,000 (also using a left-wing newspaper)... [John Major was UK PM at the time, IIRC, so the Guardian probably had little reason to downplay the protests.] I suspect Libcom also inflated the US numbers a fair bit. (For those who wonder Libcom = Libertarian communism.)

Mar 7, 2023 at 20:22 comment added ohwilleke @Fizz The liberal argument in Congress was more along the line of "why should we care if a slave holding monarchy that only survives due to oil money is invaded?"

Mar 7, 2023 at 6:04 comment added got trolled too much this week Would be nice to know those in Congress opposed what were they arguing, by and large. More time for the sanctions to work? Something else? "Let Arabs solve this among themselves" as one ad-hoc leader of the peace movement of then said? N.B. according to jstor.org/stable/3791397 there were a couple of protests organized in Washington in Jan 1991 and one in Philadelphia, but says nothing about their size.
