another perspective was offered at the kansas city, missouri vigil where many of the attendees had previously taken part in protests of the vietnam war, the only other united states war that has had more than five years of protests. one person drew a comparison noting a "fundamental misconception" with many of the protesters, "they're against it not because it was wrong," stated dave pack, chair of the peaceworks board of directors, "but because it wasn't going the way they wanted it to." he went on to say that he felt some didn't feel the war was wrong to begin with but they now feel the war is wrong. a cnn-opinion research poll released march 19 found 32 percent of americans support the conflict while 61 percent said they want the next president to remove most u.s. troops within a few months of taking office.
