190 Arrested @ Rally in DC
WASHINGTON - Several thousand anti-war demonstrators marched through downtown Washington on Saturday, clashing with police at the foot of the Capitol steps where more than 190 protesters were arrested.
The group marched from the White House to the Capitol to demand an end to the Iraq war. Their numbers stretched for blocks along Pennsylvania Avenue, and they held banners and signs and chanted, "What do we want? Troops out. When do we want it? Now."
Army veteran Justin Cliburn, 25, of Lawton, Okla., was among a contingent of Iraq veterans in attendance.
"We're occupying a people who do not want us there," Cliburn said of Iraq. "We're here to show that it isn't just a bunch of old hippies from the 60s who are against this war."

And in related news, Alan Greenspan says in his new book,
“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,”
according to the Sunday Times (of London).

Doesn't anyone have some of those old "no blood for oil" signs in storage somewhere?
Oh well, styles of protests -- and numbers of protestors -- shift over the decades.

Mr. Greenspan's book is not kind to The President in many ways.
Time will tell.
