post hoc ergo propter hoc. the invention of Facebook was just as much a cause of leaving Iraq. or flat screen TVs. or Blu-ray disks.
which is to say the protests didn’t change anything.

Politicians making decisions based on public opinion has a lot of cause and effect relation. By all accounts it would have been easier to maintain a 40k to 100k presence in Iraq than it was to pack everything up and leave.

please prove a casual link between protests and the ending of the war

People opposed the pointless war whose only winners were Exxo n Mobil.
People voted the party who started the war out of power.
The opposition party withdrew from the region.

doesn’t sound like the protest had any impact. sounds like the votes were the only thing that mattered.
