Anti Iraq war protesters - The March of the Dead

Try searching "anti war protests" and you will see that the results are not at the mainstream media, they are at anti war activists sites and some blogs.

This is a strategy to tell people that there is nothing to be done and nobody cares. Many people are not silent and many are deeply concerned and I have posted about February, 15 2003 anti-invasion protest.

In March, 18 2008 protesters blocked the traffic and government buildings in Washington to mark the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war.

A group of protesters did "The March of the Dead" to symbolize the death of civilians and military people.

More pictures of the protest here.

"Far from the eyes of the people." Ironic: "weapons of mass destruction" are being used in Iraq.

February 15, 2003 protests against Iraq invasion put millions of people around the world at the streets. People don't want war, governments do.

It's amazing that for no reason other than profiting Iraq war is still killing innocents of both sides. Seven years of war.

Anti-war movements are still organizing protests but they are not being reported. People are more active than mainstream media want us to believe.

February 15, 2003!

Protesters carried symbolic coffins to mark their opposition to U.S. military action.
