The Not So Peaceful Peace March
On February 15th, more than a million people marched for peace in Rome and Barcelona; ¾ of a million in London; 70,000 in Toronto; and hundreds of thousands gathered in U.S. cities — without incident. At the same time, 3,000 to 4,000 protesters assembled in Colorado Springs — where police resorted to tear gas, rubber bullets and a stun gun.
