Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit
[The mainstream press claims 10,000, so this is a good indication
that the crowd was somewhere around double that police estimate.
The mainstream press also quoted at least two WTC rescuers who took
the day off to protest President Lush (our Selected National
Embarrassment in Chief) and his Endurance Contest Crusade. The
usual group of right-wing cranks also assembled to counter-demonsrate
and to protect "My Flag." Damn right, asshole, your flag -- not
ours. The Stars and Stripes don't represent us. -- NY Transfer]

Anti-War Rally Draws Thousands to Washington
By Mark Wilkinson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Thousands of protesters peacefully flooded
the streets of the nation's capital on Saturday to call for peace,
as President Bush moved forward with plans for a military strike
against those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks on the United
States.
Chanting "war is not the answer," an estimated 10,000 demonstrators
assembled peacefully only blocks from the White House. Their voices
rose in opposition to the "war on terrorism" that the Bush
administration declared on Saudi-born militants including Saudi-born
Osama bin Laden, the chief suspect in the attacks, which left 6,500
dead or missing.
"War is not the answer because the events on Sept. 11 were not the
first battle in the war. This has been an escalating cycle of
violence," Brian Becker, one of the protest organizers, told Reuters.
"The U.S. has tens of thousands of troops in the Middle East. They
occupy Saudi Arabia, they bomb Iraq every week, they impose economic
sanctions in Iraq so dreadfully that the (United Nations) say 1.5
million Iraqi people have died," he added.
Many of the protesters traveled from across the country to join
the rally. James Creedon, a rescue worker in New York City, left
the rubble of Ground Zero, where the World Trade Center once stood
as a symbol of America's economic might, to join the medical teams
at the protests.
NO WORLD TRADE CENTERS
"Like the people here I want justice done, but I don't want to see
the destruction of more innocent lives," Creedon told Reuters.
"Many people at Ground Zero want international justice, but we
don't want to see a hundred or a thousand more World Trade Centers
in this country or abroad."
As hundreds of police officers in riot gear looked on, protesters
of all ages, races and movements carried banners bearing messages
that revenge would benefit nobody. "Eye for an eye and we're all
blind,"
one banner read. "Violence does not solve violence," said another.
Although recent polls showed an overwhelming majority of the American
people support some form of military action, Becker said the
protesters represented a broad spectrum of the U.S. population.
"It is the rainbow, it is what America looks like right now," Becker
said. "The administration is unfortunately believing its own
propaganda and its own polls."
Protesters also demonstrated against the hundreds of attacks on
Arab Americans and Muslims carried out since the attacks across
the country.
PATRIOTS AMONG PROTESTERS
Between the demonstrators' chants and drum beats rose some voices
of support for the Bush administration and a forceful response to
the attacks that have stirred emotions across the world.
"This isn't about racism, this is about exacting justice for 6,500
Americans and people from more than 70 countries around the world
were murdered, murdered, mass murdered," said Carter Wood, a
government employee who called the demonstrators "the hard-core
anti-American left."
"America mass murders every single day," interjected a masked
protester angered by Wood's remarks.
On Pennsylvania Avenue, one man walked swiftly past the protesters,
brandishing a sign that read "Nuke them, and there will be no war."
Others, like Bill Fredericks, brandished signs reading "God Bless
America," and said those responsible for the attacks were in a war
against America because of what the nation represents.
"The people in the Middle East want to kill us no matter what we
say or do, just because we are Americans," Fredericks, an office
worker for telephone company, told Reuters.
Further away, anti-war protesters set an American flag aflame. A
young man grabbed the burning cloth and put the flames out, screaming,
"Don't burn my flag -- ever."
