I may be showing my age here (42) but...... We need the protestors to voice opposition to war lest we undertake to use it too frequently or too easily. They may be a little too vociferous and destructive in making their statments (which makes for an interesting situation eh?) but the underlying statement is true.
My view:
War is a terrible thing.
War can be a necessary thing.
It is those two statements that make diplomacy something that should work every time (Thus avoiding the second statement), just that it can not when people do not believe, or remember, one or both of those two statements.
I do not want to make any parallels to history or remarks about one country over another other than there is always a bully in the school yard, just be careful that when you become the savior of the schoolyard that you do not become the bully yourself.
