by CODEPINK,

On March 19th, I went to Union Station to see the Iraq Veterans Against War Operation First Casualty Action. They started out the morning with a press conference and renacted what it was like to be patrolling the streets of Iraq. About 15 vets were dressed in camoflauge and a smaller group of people played the Iraqis. They patrolled the streets, jumped on the pretend Iraqis, cuffed them, and threw them to the ground. This went on for 6 hours around DC and gave me eerie visions of what it must be like for soldiers and Iraqis since this crisis began.

What will it take for Americans and Congress to wake up? It's time to end the war.

3. That is disturbing.
Is this the scene of Demoracy? Why wouldn't they hate us.

It is way late to STOP the Invasion.

4. Wow! This is real protesting. They are demonstrating what we do
to people in Iraq and other countries who did not do anything to us.
