WASHINGTON (AFP) - Thousands of anti-war demonstrators rallied outside the White House, demanding the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq as public opinion polls show collapsing support for the war effort.


Chanting "Bring the Troops Home Now", a column of protesters stretched for several blocks around the White House, with parents pushing infants in strollers while students beat makeshift drums.

Opponents of the US-led war also marched in central London, protesting the presence of British troops in Iraq. Police said some 10,000 converged on Hyde Park though sponsors said the crowd was much larger.

A small rally was held in Paris and anti-war protests were planned in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle on the US West coast.
