But what else would they do? Long past protesting? Are they writing angry letters? It seems there are lessmarchers every year - perhaps the normal people in the marches didn't like being near the moonbats and kooks.
It gets stale after a while, especially if it doesn't seem to have any effect anywhere you know. Most people are lazy enough, and not quite dedicated enough, to eventually lose interest in something as effort-intensive as public rallies and instead settle for less intensive stuff like writing opinions to newspapers and generally grumbling and disagreeing in less readily obvious ways.
Oh, and thanks for the nonsensical insult.
You're quite welcome. Come on now, are you trying to deny the gloating "what've I been telling you?!" undertone of your opening post ? Nevermind a certain tendency to jump into conclusions there too...
They are necessarily people who'd want to do the whole invasion thing over again, but they recognize that pulling out now will not help us, nor Iraq. A sort of, you break it, you have to fix it, and realizing that our enemy in Iraq won't just go home if we do. Not that big of a leap of logic, but these anti-war kooks have a hard time getting it.

I love how supposed humanitarians think abandoning Iraq to war and slaughter is good.
I long ago gave up on expecting Americans draw correct conclusions about things, these days I'm willing to settle for them just grasping the general idea. Such as "teh war = teh suck". If enough of them had realized that from the start they wouldn't have just bad alternatives to choose from now.

Still, given that the war has by now caused far too more damage (whether you count expenses, dead and maimed people, or loss of face and credibility) to the US than Osama and that Frankenstein monster gone its own merry way of his, Al-Qaeda, could even in their wildest dreams hope to achieve over their entire lives, you can't really blame folks for being a little fed up with it. Nevermind now that it's killed quite a few times the number of reasonably innocent civilians - overwhelmingly Iraqis - most terrorist organizations put together have managed to over the entire span of their existences...

Oh, and for the record I've always been firmly in the "you break it you damn well fix it too" camp. What'd you have to say about "supposed humanitarians" (which, if I'm reading between the lines correctly, actually means "damn liberals" in the context...) again...?
