FEB 15: OVER 4000 IN ARIZONA SAY NO TO WAR

Phoenix: After a rally, the unpermitted march route, known to police, was spontaneously altered by pagans and anarchists at the front of the group. Crowd estimates range from 2,500 - 3,500. The crowd played cat and mouse with the police, taking the streets for a total of three and a half hours. The march proved nearly impossible to control, as police attempts to direct were plowed through by anarchists with linked arms. Several hundred continued to reclaim the streets, playing music, dancing, and chanting "No war on Iraq! Party in the streets!" Police made six arrests, demonstrators were cited and released on misdemeanor charges of obstructing traffic. In the course of a small counter-demonstration, one peace activist learned that fear is a great motivating factor in the support for war.
