Hollywood Peace March

March 15, 2008

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 five 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.

Five 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the nation of Iraq, despite polls which indicate that a majority of Iraqis and US citizens want the US troops to be withdrawn.
