<snip>
Rallies took place in Tokyo, Seoul and Australia and more marches were expected in Europe and the Americas later in the day. A big turnout is expected in Madrid, still shaken from the bomb attacks many blamed on Spain's role in the Iraq war.


Incoming Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has pledged to pull Spanish troops out of Iraq, calling the war a "disaster" and a "fiasco."


In London, two anti-war protesters climbed the landmark Big Ben clock tower at the Houses of Parliament, unfurling a banner reading "Time for Truth" after they reached the clockface 328 feet above the city.


"We want to send a clear message to (Prime Minister) Tony Blair (news - web sites) that we and the British people are fed up with the half-truths and evasions on Iraq," said Stephen Tindale, executive director of Greenpeace which organized the protest.

67. It's great to see a photo of that Miami kid, Camilo Mejia

He's DOUBLY brave for taking this position in a town with so MANY Cuban-American _Bush supporters. The Bushes are really big with some of them, as you've noted _{George W. Bush} goes to Miami often to rally support.

Taking a stand in the midst of a community of Cubans who followed the right-wing extremists from Batista's dictatorship to Florida shows a lot of courage.

They are intense.

Hope some Republicans will take the time to study them, and question whether they really look like wild-eyed fanatics, or looney-toon tree-huggers, or gun-grabbers, or whatever slur the right-wingers would hurl at them, or if they look like intelligent, alert human beings.

12. Wonderful to see the world unite in peace

Safe to say that these protesters would love to see a Kerry WH.

[dpibel]

13. Tight shots and Old Glory

Notice how the faithful press is working hard to make the photographs (1) Uninformative and (2) Inflammatory.

They're almost all tight shots, which allows the official story to be "Small protests in various cities."

And an inordinate number of them of them show Our American Flag, to which we pledge allegiance, being desecrated in various ways, especially burning, which is bound to make good Americans feel very angry toward those wicked furriners.

The corporate press in action.

"Stop sending troops to Iraq!"
"Obey Article 9 (the anti-war clause) of the (Japanese) constitution!"

I returned from the protest in Fayetteville with my 9 year old son. What a great experience for him. He is such an old soul at his young age. It was a great experience with so many Vets and Military families against the war there. Peace, leftchick! :)

,...who represent at least ten for every one who's spirit is a part of this sea of humanity but could not be present in the flesh.

This thread documents another amazing day in humanity that must be preserved.

[devinsgram]

19. Thank you

I know there is hope for this world now.

20. I guess Bush is a uniter after all

He united the world against us.

Our peace protest was great, not one warmonger - it was nippy and windy and they only show up when the weather is nice.

[Just Me]

48. Yup,...but, humanity is the silver lining of his dark cloud!!!

[Just Me]

76. Yup

[Free_Thinking1]

88. I don't think it is that great

While I may not agree with the war I also don't condone the desecration of the US flag. Many thousands of men and women have fought and died under that flag protecting the freedoms that it represents. I don't know what is worse, the pictures of foreigners burning the flag or the one of an American writing on it like it is a bed sheet.

Attack Bush and his cronies all you like and I will be right there with you, but don't attack my flag or my country.

[trumad]

90. Ya...I hate when they write on OUR flag!

[Free_Thinking1]

91. This, oddly doesn't bother me.....

except for who is signing it and then there is the flag that flew at Ground Zero that everyone signed and that doesn't bother me. I guess for me it is a double standard, it only bothers me when someone does it out of anger or contempt.

Ok, I admit I am a hypocrite!

[trumad]

92. You said it, not me Pal

:eyes:

[Free_Thinking1]

93. I am a big enough man to admit

that there are a few issues out there that I am a bit of a hypocrite on. I think there are others here who feel the same way and just won't admit it.

[trumad]

94. So it's OK if a murderer like Bush can scribble on the flag

but it's not when a peace activist does it?

[Free_Thinking1]

95. Now you are reading way too much into my statement

Like I have said before, I don't like Bush. I don't think he is a good president and I welcome a change. The difference between me and many of you is I don't HATE him and I don't think he is a murderer. And whether or not you think he is a murderer is irrelevant. He was signing that flag the same way all the firefighters, police officers, soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, etc signed the one that flew over Ground Zero. The protester decided to write on the flag out of anger and whether he means to or not conveys a message of not hating this war, but hating his country. Like I said, this may be a bit of a hypocritical opinion, but that is the way I feel. I once got spit on by one of those "peace activists" because I took away the flag he was about to burn. Sorry if you don't like it, but that is one thing I can't sit by and watch without saying or doing something.

[trumad]

96. You shouldn't have taken his flag from him

It was his flag not yours... I surprised he didn't knock you upside the head... I would have...You snatch aomehting from me then I'm going to retaliate... How dare you take something that wasn't yours.... OH I know...you were trying to prevent him from expressing his first admendment rights... How swell of you....

[Free_Thinking1]

97. And that is why I used quotes

when I called him and apparently you a "peace activist" way to get your message of peace across, by hitting people and burning flags. And yes, I was successful in preventing him from desecrating a symbol of our country same as I'm sure many would do if he was burning a bible or the Koran or a cross or any other symbol that people hold dear. And the law was on my side on that one. The protest was on a military installation, I was working as crowd control and they were expressly forbidden from burning ANYTHING. So I was perfectly within my rights to take the flag from him and, if I really wanted to be a jerk (which I didn't because I truly do love peace) I could have dragged him in for assault for spitting on me.

[trumad]

98. OK..so now you're a military cop... I see..

So let me get this stright...the guy broke the law on a military base and you were someone who could have hauled him in for er..breaking the law but you didn't..

Uhhh..OK

[Free_Thinking1]

99. Nope, never said that either.

I wasn't an MP, another example of you reading into my posts too much. I was just the lowest ranking guy in my unit at the time and got stuck doing this job. I was simply pointing out that, despite what you read into in my post, I was technically in the right in this case and the "peace activist" like yourself was ironically prone to violence. And yes, I could have, if I wanted to make it an issue done something more than just taking his flag, but decided it was better for everyone involved to just let him go. Plus, it takes a lot more than spitting in my face to make me angry, unlike some "peace activists" who get mad at the mere sight of any sign of authority.

[trumad]

100. So you're not a cop

but you could have assaulted a citizen for expressing his first Admen rights... OK

[Free_Thinking1]

101. When people are expressly forbidden from burning something

as they were in this case, not because we wanted to rob him of his rights but because burning something in the middle of a large group is stupid and dangerous, then stopping them from doing it isn't keeping him from "expressing his rights", it is looking out for the safety of the whole. And had I detained him or had to use minimal force to prevent this from happening it would not have been assault, it would have been me doing my job to uphold the rules that were clearly laid out to protect the whole.

But I am done trying to explain this to you, you are clearly one of those who is threatened by any kind of law and order or anyone in a uniform.

[trumad]

102. No..I'm threatened by facist assholes

who think they can enforce their fucked up beliefs on other people!

[Free_Thinking1]

103. Oh, so now I am the fascist asshole

Who was simply trying to A. keep a moron from setting himself and the couple hundred people around him on fire and B. prevent something that I feel very strongly about.

I can guarantee that if you were at a pro-Bush or pro-war rally you wouldn't stand idly by and not say a word, as well you shouldn't if you feel strongly about it so don't get all high and mighty about how no matter what happens you believe that everyone should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want no matter what the outcome. What if that guy would have lit a whole crowd on fire. Then what, I am the irresponsible asshole who allowed to happen aren't I. Do me and society a favor and move to an island somewhere if you don't want to exist in a society that has a few simple rules (which by the way I didn't make, I simply enforced). If anyone else thinks I am a horrible fascist asshole I would love to hear it, seems to me you may be in this boat alone.

PS, you spelled FASCIST wrong.

[trumad]

104. Oh no.... I do declare,,,not you.....

I was only referring to idiots who get all worked up over the burning of a piece of cloth....

[tlcandie]

22. My favorite ...

This picture made me understand that Bush will NEVER back down from Iraq because in his mind it would mean that Muslims>Christains.

32. Polls,...

,...mean nothing because they are so easily manipulated. The general population really DOES understand that,...gratefully.

[Just Me]

33. Here's a beauty!

Hungary

[lebkuchen]

34. That is fantastic!

[Lorne]

35. There were no protests here today. :(

But I'm glad they were going on everywhere else!

[dax]

36. We had 12 to 15,000 people in Portland Ore- shut downtown down (peaceful)

I wish I had pix- it stretched from Pioneer Square on Broadway (7) to 3rd (Federal Building) from Yamhill down to Alder so 8 full blocks of curb to curb PEOPLE all ages, lots of kids, old folks and suits as well as jeans-Code Pink, Women In Black, environmental groups, unions everybody was out and the cops were on their best behaviour I have ever seen. They just directed traffic and stayed out of the way. I saw 3 total 3 prowar protestors on the entire route! It was beautiful-I just couldn't stop crying! All you folks need to get citizens committees and go after your police-it works! we have had some bad times and the ruckus raised has really made a difference.

50. Hello Chicago!

Look at those stormtroopers out in force.

[Judi Lynn]

70. It's like Miami! They've got them completely surrounded.

Now that's damned odd. Looks like they are trying out some new stuff in preparation for the national conventions, then beyond.

I'd like to know if anyone has a GOOD SPIN to put on this, but I doubt there is one.

[truthspeaker]

83. In Saint Paul we had 6, count 'em 6, cops at the rally

And two at each intersection to direct traffic during the march. No helmets or riot gear.

57. I was SO disappointed today...

...couldn't make it to the march in Hollywood. I was looking forward for two months to it, and missed it (due to circumstances not in my control) by an hour or so. :(

Great pictures, though. :)

[calimary]

107. I know how ya feel, Zhade. I was laid up with foot surgery.

Couldn't go anywhere at all! First such peace rally I have NOT been able to attend. Poo! The pictures are wonderful, though.

58. I walked past the Vienna march

It was incredible - there were at least a thousand people there. Very moving.

Well done. Nice photograph. :hi:

73. THIS is human history!!!!

We are the "keepers" of such monumentous historic events!!! Please, please recognize that, we are cognizant of a period in humanity that will "scripture" the future. How we will script this turning point? Will we unite or do as our "fathers" have done and wield this experience to our own power instead of empowering humanity? Let us use this time in history as evidence of both the power of the human spirit and value of all human life. WE ARE ONE!!!!

109. I have used this thread to create my own personal scrapbook.

When I showed my Mom, who really wants to escape any further involvement with "politics",...she weeped.

Humanity is taking a united stand,...this is historical and I pray it will be preserved, forever.
