Millions Across the World Protest On Anniversary of Iraq War
From Sydney to San Francisco, Tokyo to Santiago, New York, Madrid, London and Rome, millions take to the streets to mark the first anniversary of the Iraq war. We hear the sounds and voices from cities across the globe. [includes transcript]
AMY GOODMAN: Among these who spoke, the former British Member of Parliament, Tony Ben as well as Democratic Presidential Candidate, Dennis Kucinich, who we’ll hear from in a minute, as well, Mahdi Bray at the Muslim American Society.
MAHDI BRAY: We march because Palestine will be free with the right to self-determination and yes, with the right to return. We march. We march to tell John Ashcroft that my little Muslim son and millions of American Muslim youth will not grow up in America where they are profiled as terrorist suspects, but rather, they will live in a free America where they can control and reach their highest prospects, we march. And finally, we march to tell George Bush that that bible that he reads does not say blessed are the oil barons or blessed are the military industrial complex or blessed are the war mongers, but it says, blessed are the peacemakers, and Khan says that a larger man’s justice that you may arrest us, you may bomb us, and yes, you may kill us, but we bow only to the laws of the universe who wants justice for all of us, and George Bush, your arms are too short to box with god. We march, we march and say, lift every voice and sing, tell on heaven wings, ring with the arms of liberty, and face with the rising sons until our new day has begun. Let us march, march, march on until victory is won!
AMY GOODMAN: Mahdi Bray, head of the Muslim American Society, speaking in New York to more than 100,000 protesters on Saturday.
