Thousands Protest Iraq War in London
11 minutes ago
By JANE WARDELL, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through the heart of London on Thursday, toppling a 17-foot tall papier mache statue of President Bush to show their anger for the Iraq war and Prime Minister Tony Blair 's support of the invasion. <snip>

Many in the crowd said Thursday's bombings in Istanbul, which killed more than two dozen people, strengthened their resolve to oppose U.S.-British policy in Iraq.

"There have been more and more bombings since the action in Iraq and more terrorism," said Mischa Gorris, a 37-year-old London lawyer. "You will never change the hearts and minds of terrorists by bombing them. This is what you will get." <snip>

The march took almost two hours to clear its starting point at the University of London. The Stop the War Coalition, which organized the march, said 200,000 people participated; the police estimate was 70,000. <snip>

But some protesters said U.S.-British policy in Iraq was helping fuel terrorist attacks. "It wouldn't have happened without Iraq. ... America is creating their own terrorists," said Ziggy Dlabal, a German sociologist who lives in London. <snip>

19. there you go

My local newspaper carried a picture of Bush and Prince Charles today, not the protesters. This surprised me, since I live in a fairly liberal city. Unfortunately, many Americans seem to have a seige/jingoistic mentality regarding how we, our leaders and horrifying foreign policy are viewed.
