Protests to mark the fourth anniversary of the Iraq invasion are continuing today across the country. In New York, peace activists are taking part in mass civil disobedience on Wall Street. In San Francisco, activists are planning to stage a die-in at the Federal Reserve Building. On Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters took part in a march on the Pentagon. Protests were also held over the weekend in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and scores of other cities. This is former U.S. soldier Terry O’Brien, a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Terry O’Brien: “I’m basically here to support the troops. I think the only way to support the troops is to be here on the streets and demand that they come home, and I’m here to support the self-determination of the Iraqi people.”

In New York, protesters marched by the offices of Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer. The protest took place just days after Senator Clinton said she would keep troops in Iraq if she were elected president. The actor Martin Sheen and thousands of others marched in Hollywood.

Martin Sheen: “This government, no, it does not represent the people. It’s given us a horrible name, it’s given us an obscene war, and they have no leadership and no credibility. They are disgraceful. They all belong in the federal penitentiary, all of them.”
