Instead of gadding about cemeteries why don't you do something like this? Establish Camp Iraq. The goal is to demonstrate just how awful it is for the ordinary Iraqi. Everyone in Camp Iraq tries to live under the conditions somewhat similar to what the Iraqis have to endure. 12 to a tent or cabin, Occasional electricity and so on. You give up your job. Don't look back. There's no way you can duplicate the daily danger but you could get a little of it by building the camp outside of Biloxi. In any case you would make it clear that this isn't a stunt. And the point would be -- six months later when the campers are exhausted and have thousand yard stares that this is just an inking of what is really suffered. People notice when there is real risk, when there's no holding back...
Still the right wing media will label you as phonies and still those in power who see themselves losing power won't be affected. But if there's a chance at all of turning even more against the war this gives you a better chance.
Shows that you are ready to sacrifice -- establishes that fact.
