WORLD WIDE PROTESTS AGAINST BUSH'S WAR. Photos on linked to frontpage AOL article.

"It seems like we are fighting a King George in the same way General Washington fought a King George, who was equally imperialistic," said Askia Toure, a poet and activist.Protester Susan McLucas wore a homemade sign that read: "Bush Lied! 100,000 died!" "It's a war based on lies," said McLucas, 57. "We are gaining strength. The war is becoming more and more unpopular."

Protests were also held in Australia, Asia and Europe, but many events were far smaller than organizers had hoped.

In London, police said about 15,000 people joined a march from Parliament and Big Ben to a rally in Trafalgar Square. Planners had expected 100,000.

Protesters in several cities carried posters showing pictures of President Bush, calling him the "world's No. 1 terrorist." In London, other posters pictured British Prime Minister Tony Blair, saying "Blair must go!"

"We are against this war, both for religious reasons and on a humanitarian basis, too," said Imran Saghir, 25, a Muslim student who attended the London rally.

Britain, the United States' strongest supporter in the Iraq war, has about 8,000 troops in Iraq but plans to pull out 800 of them by May. The British military has reported 103 deaths there.

In Stockholm, Sweden, about 1,000 demonstrators gathered for a rally and march to the U.S. Embassy. One protester was dressed as the hooded figure shown in an iconic photograph from the Abu Ghraib prison. "We do not need Abu Ghraib democracy, or Guantanamo Bay freedom," said Eftikar Hashem Alhusainy, addressing the rally.

In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 2,000 demonstrators marched from the U.S. Embassy to the British Embassy, demanding that Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen withdraw the 530 Danish troops from southern Iraq.

In Turkey, where opposition to the war is nearly universal and cuts across all political stripes, about 3,000 protesters gathered in Istanbul, police said.

"Murderer USA," read a sign unfurled by a communist in Taksim Square in Istanbul. "USA, go home!" said red-and-black signs carried in Kadikoy on the city's Asian coast.

In Italy, Romano Prodi, the center-left leader who is challenging conservative Premier Silvio Berlusconi in next month's election, said he and his supporters wouldn't join a march in Rome because of a risk of violence.

In Greece, about 600 demonstrators marched through central Athens to the U.S. Embassy, where protesters chanted: "Stop the war now" and "American killers get out of Iraq."

About 700 protesters marched peacefully through an inner-city district of Berlin during a rally, police said.

In Austria, protesters marching through Vienna - about 200 by police estimates - chanted "Freedom, freedom for Iraq and Palestine," as they made their way to the U.S. Embassy.

Anti-war demonstrations also were planned later Saturday in Spain. On Sunday, up to 3,000 protesters were expected in Seoul, South Korea, which has the third-largest contingent of foreign troops in Iraq after the U.S. and Britain. Another rally was planned outside the U.S. Embassy in Malaysia's largest city, Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks for sharing!

The protesters had a great time and the majority of the "drive by's" honked and gave us the peace symbol or the thumbs up sign out of the windows. Totally different that 2 years ago!

But, not so much as in the past.

Not bad for the Home of David Duke here in the heart of Red State Nation.

ONWARD!
