Default Anti-war movement a caricature of itself

Well...Saddam went for 1 whole meal, so I guess a day is a major protest.

Cindy must be soooooo hungry by now

Yeah, that's kind of embarassing, but they could be more ridiculous - they could be pro-war.

I'm just curious. What method could someone take to oppose the war that you wouldn't belittle them for?

Cindy Sheehan is an attention whore.

Regardless of your posisition on the war you must be able to recognize this.

Well publicized voluntary service in non-military capacities (ala Vets hospitals, Peace Corp, missions etc, other government service, ) would be one method that is consistent with their purported beliefs but contributes to the national good.

Peaceful rallies that protest the war without politicizing the issues and without infringing on the rights of others would be at the oppposite end of the spectrum. Im sure there are lots of things in between.

Any public demonstration made in the name of non-violence is ok by me.

From what I gather most of these anti-war demonstrations are either well infiltrated or outright staged by the most evil statists (Stalinists, Socialists, etc)

Socialism is inherently violent and deplorable. However, since these people aren't standing around talking about how we should be redistributing wealth to egalitarian standards, I don't have a problem; as far as I can see, they're just advocating a peaceful withdrawal from our foreign victims, and that's good.

Evidence of Stalinist infiltration or staging?
