Where Did the Anti-War Movement Go?

Last night I watched clips of president Obama as he spoke concerning the war in Afghanistan. It was eerie. He said things like:

• This is a war of necessity.
• It will not be easy, or over quickly.
• This war is about freedom, and make no mistake, we will win.

If you were to read such quotes without knowing who the speaker was, would you dream it was anyone other than Bush? Where did the anti-war movement go?

We still have roughly 130,000 troops in Iraq. We are on our way to 68,000 in Afghanistan. We are actively fighting terror in 2009 in exactly the same way we fought it in 2007. But I haven't seen any media coverage of peace vigils. I still see bumper stickers with anti-Bush messages, but now that the commander in chief has changed I don't feel any of the same energy in the discussion.

Is is possible that Bush ignited such hatred in the U.S. that simply removing him from the white house has made the war on terror acceptable to millions of citizens? I'm at a complete loss on this one...
