Anti-war protestors take to streets 2 years on
Anniversary of Iraq invasion spurs worldwide demonstrations



Thousands of anti-war activists gather in Federal Plaza in Chicago, Saturday, to mark the second anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq

NEW YORK - Anti-war activists marched in the streets of American cities big and small Saturday, stopping traffic and lying down alongside flag-draped cardboard coffins to mark the second anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.

Some of the demonstrators were arrested in New York as they demanded that U.S. troops be brought home.

“This country was founded by acts of civil disobedience,” said David McReynolds, 75, of New York, as he marched along 42nd Street. “We have an obligation to make our resistance public and to say as clearly as we can that the war is illegal.”

In San Francisco, hundreds of protesters rallied in Dolores Park in the city’s Mission district, holding up posters with photographs of dead American soldiers. The protesters then marched to San Francisco City Hall for another rally.
