Hollywood Peace March

March 18, 2006

report and all photos by Don Hodges

Thousands of Peace-Loving people marched through the streets of Hollywood today demanding an immediate end to the US military occupation of Iraq.

The war in Iraq began three years ago when Mr. Bush, in a blatant act of aggression, ordered the US military to invade the sovereign nation of Iraq.

As justification, Mr. Bush cited knowledge of Iraq's possession Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

No WMD were ever found in Iraq.

Three years later, the US military continues to occupy the nation of Iraq, despite polls which indicate that a majority of Iraqis and US citizens want the US troops to be withdrawn.

Those who protest for peace have never fought for it. The Iraqi people fight the same way we did all our lives. The war in Iraq will only be lost by those not fighting. I fight for and believe in what we do. For you can't have peace without in this world when you don't fight the evil where it lives. God bless Amarica and be with the poor uneducated protesters.
