Tens of thousands of people have converged on the National Mall this morning to rally against U.S. military operations in Iraq, and a smaller group also gathered to express support for military action.

Not everyone on the Mall today is opposing military involvement in Iraq. A group of counter-protesters assembled about 9 a.m. to demonstrate support for both U.S. troops abroad and Bush's policies toward Iraq.

Drums For Peace
"Anti-war protesters beat a large drum for peace on the grounds of the National Mall Saturday in Washington. Buses rolled into Washington from many parts of the country, delivering thousands for a weekend of dissent against war with Iraq that organizers promised would be peaceful." AP
Why? Over there they spell it "Deutschland". Besides, some people never learn.
Actually it was Hole_n_one that captured it .. I was just commenting on it
"The rally that packed the National Mall in Washington was estimated by International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) coalition organizers to have drawn several hundred thousand people, while the San Francisco rally was said to have attracted more than 50,000. At least three thousand people demonstrated in Burlington, Vermont. Several thousand people marched in Portland, Oregon. Thousands more hit the streets in Albuquerque, Tampa, Indianapolis and college towns such as Madison, Wisconsin. Protesters on the Las Vegas strip hoisted a sign that read: 'Elvis hates war.'"
Several hundred thousand huh? Did it look like several hundred thousand to any of you?
