Sunday: Beautiful PHOTO from Budapest, Hungary.."people" peace sign lit up
Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 08:32 PM by diamond14



Holding torches, some 2,000 people form the sign of peace during an antiwar and anti-violence rally in the Heroes Square in central Budapest, Hungary, on Sunday evening, March 20, 2005. The rally was organized by the Humanist Movement of Hungary to mark the second anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq (news - web sites). In the background the Millenium Memorial, left, and the Gallery of Arts, right, are seen. (AP Photo/MTI, Zsolt Szigetvary)

1. AWESOME
There needs to be more of these threads- the protest news is getting drowned out by Terri Schiavo.

11. That's why the right trotted out the Terri Schiavo case
We all know they don't really give a rip about her or her long suffering family. It's sick how right wingers are all up in arms about poor Terri while they think it's acceptable to kill hundreds of innocent Iraqis and our men and women over lies for power and greed.

14. It really makes me sick
when they talk about how poor Terri Schiavo is suffering but then when one shows a picture of an Iraqi person suffering from Bush's war they can scream "hell yeah!"

18. And that is why "freedom is on the march" MSM news for
weeks previous to the protests. Bush as the savior idiot-savant, according to Maher.

4. Lovely! One small correction...
Bucharest is the capital of Romania. This, I assume, is Budapest--a much nicer town, I've heard.

:toast: to the Magyars!!

I grew up there. Chattanooga is quite conservative. It's good to hear about protests!

49. Coolidge Park>Miller Plaza
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 06:08 PM by rocktop15
The protest/march started at Coolidge Park and we made our way downtown to Miller Plaza where a rally was held with several speakers including a Vietnam veteran who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. At the peak of the event, there were roughly 200 people in attendance. Very good stuff in the Chat area!

58. Awesome! I am very impressed!
I love Chattanooga. It is my hometown and where I grew up and went to high school. I'll be up there soon to visit my mom and siblings and friends.

Keep fighting the good fight rocktop15!

19. Peace to those that care, THANK YOU 1 and all!
Isn't this insane. The world is behind us, but way less then 1/2 our fellow Americans (way, way less) are just that - insane!

I blame this administration, their Repuk wackos, and our so-called media of which they no longer hold my respect; and of course their big Oil/$$ corporations.

Nominated!

24. Thanks for lifting my spirits, diamond14.
The beauty is magnificent, especially knowing what this represents.
I printed up the photo and am taping it on my computer workstation.
I think I'll make a few more copies and send to friends.

My god, this is beautiful. I have nothing else to say.

I'm making it my "wallpaper" for at least the next couple of weeks! I'm nominating for the most beautiful image of the weekend of "Global Protest" against our (the US's) Imperial Wars of Aggression. Kudos to Hungary. Thank you.

A shame that isn't on the Mall.

You'd probably be arrested for having a lit torch on the Mall.
