All we are saying is give peace a chance.

With the war in Iraq poised to enter its fifth year, tens of thousands of demonstrators Saturday flooded the streets ofWashington, Hungary, Spain, Australia, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, South Korea, Chile, Sweden, Iraq and elsewhere in protest.

The protests were timed to coincide with the fourth anniversary on Tuesday of the Iraq war, which has claimed the lives of at least 70,000 civilians and nearly 10,000 soldiers and police officers from Iraq, the US and eight coalition countries.

One of the great disappointments in my life was that I was too young to participate in the war protests of the 60's and 70's.

So when this war began I told myself that I would not sit on he sidelines again. However due to my job restrictions and distance from the hot spots I am not able to make it to the front lines.

Which is why you are reading these words here, on the Internet, instead of off of a placard that I am holding up while standing outside of the White House or Congress.

I am very sorry that there is a war that needs to be protested, but I am very happy that I have some small part to play in protesting the war and the people who lied to get us into that war. And I am proud of the millions of people who are out there doing the same thing, in what ever fashion they can participate.
