Hundreds of Thousands March

Although the mainstream coverage of this yesterday was scant and today, it's been referred to more parenthetically than authoritatively, several sources say that hundreds of thousands marched around the world yesterday to protest the invasion of Iraq by the US and coalition forces a year ago this week.

In Montpelier, Vt., hundreds of silent protesters placed a pair of shoes on the Statehouse steps for each of the more than 560 U.S. soldiers killed in the war. In Los Angeles, one of thousands of protesters held photographs of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) with the words, "forget Janet Jackson's — expose the real boobs."
