Overview of the Anti-War protests in Washington D.C.
By: Turbanator
----------------------------------------------------

As most of you know, the weekend of January 18th, freedom loving peoples 
from all over came to rally in the nations capitol to protest the war 
against Iraq.  Crys like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush" were just 
few of the many voices at the protest on Saturday.  Tens of thousands 
of people, like you and I, gathered to show that they had a voice, that 
could not be silenced.

Mahdi Bray, Executive Director of the Muslim American Society Freedom 
Foundation and Rev. Al Sharpton were among the few, whose voice rang loud 
and clear over the grounds of the west side of the capitol, which created 
an amazing message that true freedom still stands.

After the protest, around 30,000 people marched through the streets from 
the National Mall, to the Washington Navy Yard.  Sadly few arests were made, 
but for the most part is was a peaceful march, showing just how much power 
people can have.

The next step for anti-war activists seems to be the week of February 13-21, 
which is dubbed "Week of Anti-War Resistance".  February 15th seems to be 
special, in this exerpt from internationalanswer.org:

FEBRUARY 15: The European movement, which initiated the call for this day 
of actions, has sent requests to U.S. peace groups, including A.N.S.W.E.R., 
to call for actions in the United States. United for Peace has initiated a 
mass mobilization in New York City, which we support, and we also encourage 
and support regional and local actions in solidarity with actions that day 
in Europe and around the world.

Looks like Bush has a little oposition to this war of his, to find out how
