WASHINGTON - Thousands of demonstrators peacefully protesting globalization, U.S. policy on the Mideast and other issues spread out at sites across the U.S. capital Saturday as police officers stood watch.
.....About 100 people gathered on the National Mall to show their support of U.S. policies. Some carried signs that said "Peace through superior fire power." Bill Bonach of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, said he was sorry that the crowd was not bigger for the "Patriot's Rally."
