Stock Footage: 2001 Anti-War Protest Stock Footage

The February 15, 2003 anti-war protest was a coordinated day of protests across the world against the imminent invasion of Iraq. Millions of people protested in approximately 800 cities around the world. According to BBC News, between six and ten million people took part in protests in up to sixty countries over the weekend of the 15th and 16th; other estimates range from eight million to thirty million.

The biggest protests took place in Europe. The protest in Rome involved around 3 million people, and is listed in the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the largest anti-war rally in history. Opposition to the war was highest in the Middle East, although protests there were relatively small - Mainland China was the only major region not to see any protests.

The anti-war movement has been largely demoralised and defeated... its was up against the ruling classes and puppet governments of the coalition of the willing though. Try and find video footage of these demos. They used to be everywhere: now they've vanished? Hardly, the moneyed pro-war movement has simply won by virtue of their control of capital and an already imperialsit status quo etc. The war was and still is wrong: entirely: and most people still believe that.

Obama=Bush+apology

If i recall it right there has been anti war protest when Obama got presidency aswell...

[KangarooBoo08]

If they really were protesting against the war then we should have seen this all over again when Obama said he is sending 17,000 more troops to Afgan. But i guess since its the great obama doing it, then its fine with all these past protesters. LOL Coin is twisted. That's why I say they were protesting against Bush, using the war as an excuse.

@KangarooBoo08

Haha first 2 seconds i see atleast 3 billboards with "Stop the war"

what are you talking about? :D

[KangarooBoo08]

THey protested against bush. Not the war.

[janar17]

Heh well

if 50 million people protested it against in 2003

obviously is there any point?

the fascist USA will not stop the invasion and killings in middle- east.

That just shows theres no democracy in this world..

[KangarooBoo08]

Well...Obama just sent 17,000 more US troops to AFGAN. Hmmm no war protesters anymore? Interesting....

[rosyyaoi2]

wow people certainly thought this was a bad idea didnt they?

the point was to make a change, but it was also to show how many people are against this war.

no one expected them to do anything. they were voicing their opinions.

[rosyyaoi2]

no but it certainly shows just how many people hate "bush and his minions" and this fucking stupid war they started.

And a violent uprising wouldnt do much better. they would sit in their plushy chairs and look out the window going "oh look at that idiot...he just trashed a store, HE'S going to jail"

nice plan... :/
