Worldwide war protests
bring millions to streets
Fawn Vrazo
Knight Ridder Newspapers (KRT)
LONDON — By the millions,
peace marchers in cities around the
world united Saturday behind a sin
gle demand: No war with Iraq.
In Rome, between 1 million and 3
million people turned out, accord
ing to police officials and protest or
ganizers; in London, between a half
million and 1 million; in Berlin, a
half-million.
On a global scale, the demonstra
tions were among the largest in
decades. They began with the ar
rival of the day in New Zealand and
spread time zone by time zone
around the globe, culminating with
100,000 people flooding the streets
near the United Nations in New
York. More than a million marched
in Barcelona, Spain, while more
than half a million took to the
streets of Madrid.
The larger than expected march
es, coming a day after the U.N. Se
curity Council debate on whether to
give weapons inspectors more time
in Iraq, will make it harder for the
Bush administration to win support
for any war effort in Iraq.
“Peace! Peace! Peace! Let Ameri
ca listen to the rest of the world —
and the rest of the world is saying:
‘Give the inspectors time,*” Nobel
Peace Prize winner Bishop
Desmond Tutu of South Africa told
an inter-religious throng at a church
near the United Nations.
In many places, the marches
equaled or surpassed the scope of
the anti-globalization demonstra
tions in recent years. In other
places, they rivaled or topped the
anti-nuclear protests of the early
1980s or the Vietnam War protests
of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
“People are getting organized to a
degree I have never seen in my life
time,” said Henry Schwarz, director
of the Program on Peace and Jus
tice, located at Georgetown Univer
sity. “It does seem to have far
reaching impact.”
In London, a seemingly endless
throng of flag-waving marchers
flowed down the wide avenues of
Piccadilly. The march took five
hours before the end of it finally
caught up with the front at the
speaker’s stage on the muddy
grounds of Hyde Park.
Shaggy-haired left-wing protest
veterans teamed up with families
who had never marched before.
Demonstrators wore diamond
rings and nose rings, fur coats and
jean jackets. Babies and children
were plentiful.
“It’s not Americans, it’s your
government,” Santino Russoman
na, 46, told an American reporter
in Rome. “George Bush, he’s a
rich man who is worried about his
own interests.”
In Rome, as in London, demon
strators also attacked their own
leaders for siding with Bush on
the war.
Berlin’s large protest was aimed at
the Bush administration, not the
German government, since Chan
cellor Gerhard Schroeder has been
firmly against an Iraq war.
Berlin had not seen a rally so
large since Nov. 4, 1989, when a
half-million East Germans demon
strated against their government
five days before the fall of The Wall.
Theodor Seidel, a retired Berlin
judge, found himself marching in
the first demonstration of his 71
years. He carried a sign that read
“Bush to Nuremberg,” the site of
the Nazi war crimes trials.
In New York, protestors’ efforts to
march directly in front of the Unit
ed Nations were thwarted by city of
ficials, who denied them a permit
for security reasons. But their rally
became a de facto march when the
sheer numbers overwhelmed police
on many streets leading to the rally
site, at 51st Street and First Avenue.

U.N. report deals setback
to U.S. calls for war in Iraq

UNITED NATIONS — U.N. in
spectors have not found weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq and are
slowly gaining Baghdad’s grudging
cooperation, top weapons inspec
tors said Friday in a measured re
port that derailed U.S. efforts to
broaden support for war.
The inspectors also said they still
cannot account for 1,000 tons of
chemical weapons, and an exasper
ated Secretary of State Colin Powell
warned members of the U.N. Secu
rity Council that Saddam Hussein
was playing “tricks” on them.
But the chief inspectors’ dispas
sionate report rallied anti-war
forces on the council and deepened
fractures between the United States
and several close allies, led by
France, on the eve of weekend anti
war protests across Europe.
“In this temple of the United Na
tions, we are the guardians of an
ideal, the guardians of a con
science,” said French Foreign Min
ister Dominique de Villepin, who
led the Russians, Chinese and oth
ers in opposing military action so
long as inspections hold promise of
disarming Iraq peacefully.
A majority of the 15-member
council called for more inspections,
and criticism of the U.S.-British po
sition produced several bursts of ap
plause, a rare event in the council
chamber that violated protocol but
revealed the depth of sentiment.
Only the British and Spanish sup
ported the U.S. view that Saddam’s
failure to comply with U.N. disarma
ment mandates will soon require a
U.N. decision on whether to disarm
him by military invasion.
By the end of the busy and dis
cordant day, which also included a
late two-hour closed Security
Council session, Powell said he
would not immediately press for a
new U.N. resolution authorizing
military action.
Arms inspectors are scheduled to
report again to the Security Council
in early March.
At about the same time, the
United States and Britain will be
ready to launch an attack on Iraq,
with or without new U.N. authori
zation. Together both nations are
assembling about 200,000 troops
and massive war equipment in the
Persian Gulf region.
Powell told Knight Ridder late Fri
day that U.N. diplomacy must come
to a conclusion soon. “I don’t think
that point is too far off in the dis
tance,” he said.
During the Security Council ses
sion, one of the most weighty in re
cent history, chief inspectors Hans
Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei said
that 115 inspectors have examined
more than 300 sites and found no
evidence of nuclear, biological or
chemical weapons.
“The results to date have been
consistent with Iraqi declarations,”
Blix said.
Representatives of France, Russia
and China said war at this time was
not justified. All three hold veto
power on the council.
“The onerous responsibility and
immense honor we have must lead
us to give priority to disarmament
through peace,” said de Villepin, the
French foreign minister.
Said Russian Foreign Minister
Igor Ivanov:
“There is movement, movement
in the right direction, and we can
not ignore that. Force can be resort
ed to, but only when all other reme
dies have been exhausted. As the
debate shows today, we have not
yet reached that point.”
