About 1,000 anti-war protesters slowed traffic Wednesday night as they lined the Lake Street bridge over the Mississippi River. Though the bridge is the site of weekly protests against a possible war with Iraq, the event turned out a larger-than-usual number of protesters. Many said they felt it was especially important to show up to oppose what they see as President Bush's declaration of war in Tuesday night's State of the Union address.

This part Really confused me...

"We want to send a message to specifically Bush but also the rest of the world, that we're not going to support the the killing and rape of innocent people, women, and children. And we're also pacifists, so we don't believe violence can solve anything," she said.

Ummm, isn't that what Saddam Hussein is doing? I suppose these pinko commies think that all war crimes are committed by the US. Excuse me I need to go outside and scream now. LOL btw first post I hopwe I get it right :O)
