This weekend, March 21st, marked the sixth year of the US occupation of Iraq. Hundreds took to the street, despite the rain and cold winds, to sing, drum and dance for peace. Even though the new administration has picked a withdrawal date, many protesters believe it really isn’t soon enough if there is an honest effort to end the mass killings in Iraq. There was also a strong voice at the march against the violence in Gaza.
