query on demo tactics

[Les Schaffer <schaffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have a question for the tactics gurus here.

is it neccessarily better that in a demonstration everyone winds up in
the same city? would yesterday really have been ineffective if,
instead of everyone converging in Washington, say, local groups formed
demos of 10's (rural), 100's to 1000's (small town), to 10k to 100k
(cities) everywhere on the same day/time????

i've been thinking about the relatively small size of the turnout
yesterday, and it seems obvious to me taht many more than 20-30k
people in US stand vigorously against this occupation of iraq. why
then choose tactics that appear to minimize this number?
