I guess we're operating off of different defintions of protest.
I see one of the primary functions of rallies and protests as communicating homosocial solidarity, and in communicating with third parties. Going to a war protest is unlikely to shake the anti-war establishment directly. But it gives you a better platform from which to organize and has sway on people who are somewhere between hawks and doves.
