    Politicians making decisions based on public opinion has a lot of cause and effect relation. By all accounts it would have been easier to maintain a 40k to 100k presence in Iraq than it was to pack everything up and leave.

        1. People opposed the pointless war whose only winners were Exxo n Mobil.

        2. People voted the party who started the war out of power.

        3. The opposition party withdrew from the region.

          doesn’t sound like the protest had any impact. sounds like the votes were the only thing that mattered.

                  I’m not anti protest. I’m challenging the assertion that the Iraq war protests worked.

                    You have challenged the assertion that protests in any way affect the outcome of elections or what choices politicians make.
