no war is a good war

2004/03/20, protests in chicago marking the one year anniversary of our second major war on iraq and our continued presence in the region. protesters gathered at watertower place and then marched to the federal plaza, scene of last year's protest. an amazing display on both the part of the protesters and the chicago police department, who were out in overwhelming force again.
