As President Bush (as well as other members of his administration)

traveled the country and the world, they were met with protesters

in every stop. Crowds of many thousands raised their fists and signs

on his tour of Asian and South American cities.

The month also saw the 2,000th American Soldier fall in Iraq which

prompted many vigils around the country in honor of our military

heroes and in hopes of bringing them home safely and soon.

Large numbers of American Veterans marched in parades on Veterans

Day protesting the War in Iraq. Parades were held in many cities

around the country with the largest in New York City. Also, on the

17th, a Vietnam Veteran who was arrested for sitting on a tank while

holding peace signs in Wausau, was given a $1 fine for trespassing.

But 11\/2, being the anniversary of the Presidential election drew out

massive protests in many cities. \"World Can't Wait said that people

in more than 67 cities, at 43 colleges and universities, and in 90 high

schools planned to leave their jobs and classes to join protests on

November 2nd.\"

Many cities are holding weekly and bi-monthly demonstrations against

the Iraq War now, and consequently are not reported on anywhere.
