10th Anniversary Marked of Historic Global Protests Against Iraq War 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the historic wave of global protests
against the war in Iraq. Tens of millions of people took to the streets
in hundreds of cities around the world to say no to war. The BBC said
the protest in London was the largest in the capital’s political
history. Protest sites included Australia, Johannesburg, Tel Aviv,
Syria, Tokyo, Bangladesh, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Puerto Rico,
Brazil, East Timor, India, and even the South Pole. At least half a
million rallied in New York City alone 10 years ago. The U.S.-led
invasion of Iraq would begin just over a month later.
