Reuters. 13 March 2003. Anti-war Americans launch 48-hr talkathon in Berlin. BERLIN -- A group of Americans based in Berlin launched a 48-hour talking marathon on Thursday to voice their opposition to a U.S.-led war against Iraq. The 30-40 people delivered speeches, recited poems and sung at the planned site of the future U.S. embassy next to the landmark Brandenburg Gate at Berlin's former east-west border. "A number of German papers and the New York Times are so ready to call any German who is against war as ungrateful and anti-American. Well, we are Americans and we are against war. It is the U.S government in my opinion that is anti-American," said Ann Wertheimer, an English lecturer from New Jersey. "Americans against the War" is a loose grouping who have marched in peace demonstrations in Berlin and others who responded to an advert in local newspapers. "We want to show people that we're not all trigger-happy and that Bush does not speak for us all," said Keith Hill, an 18-year-old exchange student from Stone Mountain, Georgia. The group say their action is a filibuster, an extended speech or debate used to prevent a vote, timed to coincide with negotiations at the United Nations over a new Iraq resolution expected to carry on through the weekend. It will feature readings of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation and the United Nations Charters and speeches from former U.S. presidents the group feel reflect human rights and anti-war beliefs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
