Members of Iraqi American Council here, with some of their children
They're handing out pictures from one of the gas massacres

Our crowd is well behaved
We've been explaining the rules to the new people that have joined us. We have some families who have come along.
The police have put up sawhorse barricades and some bicycle barricades.
We've got a dozen motorcycle cops with us and a squad of mounted US Park Police on horses take up a position nearby.
A guy across the street holding a French flag, so we chanted: "Dump Chirac, Free France!" We also chanted for France to leave the Ivory Coast.
