"Rallies took place in a dozen cities, with the biggest crowds gathering in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

They were timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of a vote by the US Senate to authorise the Iraq invasion."

Oct 27 Protest in New York
45,000 stood up to the rain and the Bush administration in New York City today, and marched and rallied for peace. Led by Iraq veterans, veterans of other wars, military families, union members and students, from throughout New York City, New York State, and northern New Jersey, we made our demands to bring the troops home now and no to war with Iran heard loud and clear in the streets of Manhattan.

Thousands Rally Against Iraq War In S.F.
"Where's the outcry? Where's the horror that almost 4,000 Americans have died in a foreign country that we invaded?...I'm almost as angry at the American people as I am the president. I think Americans have become apathetic and placid about the whole thing."
