    Well some people called it the Iraq War but it was the same war started by his daddy so we just called it Gulf War 2.0. It still lingers, mission was not accomplished.

    I don’t have any of the footage sadly. The documentary never got made. I don’t think anyone has used the footage, probably sitting in a university archive somewhere.

    However there were regular marches of notable size in both Windsor and Detroit, which were loosely coordinated with the millions marching elsewhere around the world. People showed a fair bit of opposition.

    I think some of that energy segued into the Occupy movement too.

      Interesting, thanks so much for your reply! I’ll have to dig more into this as my knowledge of the politics of Desert Storm is quite shallow as a non-American.
