"Stop Bush's War!" |
2001-10-27 |
Carrying placards reading "Stop Bombing Afghanistan'' and ''Stop Bush's War'', demonstrators paraded through downtown Washington escorted by a dozen police cars and motorcycles. The march was sponsored by a Washington and New York-based group called International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). The group said it was conducting similar marches in cities throughout the United States and abroad. ``There should be no violent response to nine-one-one,'' said demonstrator Tom Christian, of Baltimore, referring to the date of the hijacked airliner attacks on the United States which killed some 5,000 people. He said there was ``no one simple solution'' to finding and punishing those responsible for the killing of civilians on Sept. 11. |
