A moment of peace: 10 million people gather worldwide to protest Bush’s plans for war

On Saturday, February 15, anti-war rallies and marches spanned the globe. In what is being hailed as the largest single outpouring of grassroots opposition to war since Vietnam (and some say in history), diverse groups converged to flank the U.N. building in New York and crowd INS headquarters in Seattle, among other American cities. In Europe, crowds were the biggest in countries whose leaders support the American war effort—nearly 1 million protesters gathered in London, Barcelona and Madrid.
