Marchers Demand U.S. Pullout From Iraq

LOS ANGELES -- Anti-war protesters on both coasts took to the streets to denounce President Bush and demand a pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Rallies were held Sunday in Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco, and followed international protests Saturday in London, Athens, Paris and other cities.

"George Bush, Uncle Sam, Iraq will be your Vietnam!" some of the estimated 3,000 demonstrators chanted while walking down Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard. No arrests or injuries were reported.

"We are supposed to be a democratic, free nation and I want to express my feelings against this criminal administration," said Pilar Happori, 58, of Garden Grove. "This is a dangerous administration for destroying not only the U.S., but the world."

1. Great, but
what a shame they couldn't / wouldn't cover all the protests BEFORE the war, isn't it?
