http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_15,_2003_anti-war_protest

The February 15, 2003 anti-war protest was a coordinated day of protests across the world against the imminent invasion of Iraq. Millions of people protested in approximately 800 cities around the world. According to BBC News, between six and ten million people took part in protests in up to sixty countries over the weekend of the 15th and 16th; other estimates range from eight million to thirty million.[1][2]

Some of the largest protests took place in Europe. The protest in Rome involved around 3 million people, and is listed in the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the largest anti-war rally in history.[3] Opposition to the war was highest in the Middle East, although protests there were relatively small.[clarification needed] Mainland China was the only major region not to see any protests, but small demonstrations attended mainly by foreign students were seen later.[4]

If 6-30 million protesters can't stop war. What can?
