Dayuhan could you reconcile these two statements of yours?

Even in the Bush years there was substantial opposition to the wars, particularly the one in Iraq.

and

Those who opposed the Iraq war were certainly a minority , but they made plenty of noise and were fairly visible, though they were duly ignored.

Now do you realise why I am bewildered by your statements?

How the Dickens can it be -
Bush years there was substantial opposition to the wars, particularly the one in Iraq

as also

Those who opposed the Iraq war were certainly a minority?

Substantial opposition in one post and in another, opposition was but a minority?

Does appear that you state for the sake of stating to win brownies and know not what you write except that it should suit the flavour of the moment even though it contradicts another 'wise' saying just a few posts earlier that you made.
