The VOA says more like five thousand. However many people you agree showed up &#8211; the AP says &#8220;several&#8221; thousand &#8211; the number is pretty pathetic. In a country of three hundred million, if you can&#8217;t muster up even fifty thousand people against a war, the event is basically meaningless, barely even news.
