Oct. 18th, 2004 01:25 pmNot so low boil guerrilla war in Iraq. Two helicopters downed, 1101 US troops dead as of this weekend. Thousands of slain Iraqi, mostly killed by US troops. Children fill the hospitals. The propoganda machines are in full tilt.
“I think our message to Americans is simple: Don't vote for Bush,” said Emma Jane Berridge, a London resident.
Most activists were happy to distinguish between Mr. Bush and his country. Some chanted that the United States was a “terrorist state,” but the majority of the criticism was levelled at Mr. Bush's foreign policy rather than America as a nation.
“These rallies are always anti-Bush, nothing more,” said Andrea Needham, who carried her daughter, Esme, with a sign proclaiming “Babies go waaaaa for Bush.”
“I've never met anyone at a rally who was anti-American, even though that's how the media like to portray these protests,” she said.
One American on the march said taking part was bittersweet.
“Watching this makes me want to cry,” said Erin Kiefer, a student from New York carrying an “Out with Bush” sign. “I know it's anti-Bush and not anti-American, but it kills me that he represents our nation so poorly, that he speaks for us as Americans.”
This election will go to the side who gets the mostmonkeys voters out to the polling booths in the close states. (presuming its fair. Bwaaahahahahah!)
