WELLINGTON -- Thousands marched in cites and smaller towns across Australia and New Zealand on Saturday to protest against a possible American-led war on Iraq. More than 4,000 people marched in southern New Zealand's main cities of Christchurch and Dunedin chanting "give peace a chance."

In Dunedin about 1,000 protested against a possible war against Iraq, while in Christchurch more than 3,000 marched to the city's central square.
