1,2,3,4, we don't want your frigging war! Antiwar protesters rally on Common, D.C. David Brand Hundreds of antiwar protesters crowded Boston Common to voice their opposition to President Bush's proposed escalation of the war in Iraq as thousands more converged on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and other major cities Saturday. The crowd, carrying signs and chanting antiwar slogans, jammed the area outside the Park Street T stop and stretched for more than two blocks down Tremont Street. Many said they attended the Boston rally because they could not make the trip to the nation's capital. "We are in solidarity with the march in Washington," protester Ruth Smullin said. On Friday night, buses packed with protesters left Boston headed for the nation's capitol, where thousands of politicians, activists and celebrities from all over the country met to protest the proposed troop surge. The protests came several days after Bush appealed for public support for his plan to send 20,000 additional troops to Iraq during his annual State of the Union address. The plan has come under fire from Democrats in Congress and increasingly more Republican politicians. Northeastern philosophy professor Steve Nathanson said he believes the United States committed a terrible error by entering the war and must reconcile its mistakes. "We are at a dire time in our nation's history," he said. Nathanson said Newton Dialogues on Peace and War, a group to which he belongs, received many phone calls prior to the rally from communities interested in participating. Some said they were disappointed with the turnout, however. "It's confusing there are not more college students here," said Tufts University graduate student Julia Stine. "It's kind of sad. Hopefully they are organizing their own movements." Sgt. Dudley Hertung, a Korean War veteran, also said not enough college-aged people attended the demonstration. "I've seen war," Hertung said. "My feeling on war is that war is a place where innocent people get killed. Everyone who reported to me [in Korea] was under 20 - I just think of those poor guys and girls." He said most Americans are too preoccupied by minor issues to consider the war their problem. Continued... media.www.dailyfreepress.com
