PITTSBURGH (AP) - Carrying peace signs and chanting ``Drop Bush, not bombs,'' thousands of people marched through snowfall Sunday to protest a possible U.S. war with Iraq.

Police estimated the crowd at more than 3,000, and rally organizers said the protest was among Pittsburgh's largest ever.

``It shows that in middle America, cities like Pittsburgh can turn out thousands against war. We have shown that this war is not popular,'' said Tim Vining, executive director of the Thomas Merton Center, a sponsor of the event.

Nuns, students, activists and Vietnam War veterans marched together as several inches of snow fell and temperatures dipped into the teens.
