Bush in Rome

Italy greets Bush with anti-war protest

Bush can look forward to a hearty welcome from his old friend, the Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, and Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Rome. That's not what could be found on the streets, however, where anti-Bush sentiment over the war in Iraq still lingers.

BUSH PROTEST PHOTOS AND PRESS COVERAGE
The march in Rome yesterday was a success, with thousands participating
and a great turnout from our group, including a number of out of town
guests. James Gilligan of Iraq Veterans Against the War spoke at the end
of the march.

Our three criminals Bush (Greg), Cheney (Becky) and Rice (Little Maria),
were constantly surrounded by photographers, especially after painting their
hands red, as was Rose´s interminable list of Bush Admin war crimes, our
brand new banner courtesy of Gen and the seven IMPEACH t-shirts. Joan
of CodePink kept us chanting the entire way and stunned the Carabinieri
when she tried to turn over our criminals for arrest. Patrick was interviewed
on TG1 and TG3 and many photos appeared on the newspapers today.

Good luck to our French "cousins" of American Against War as they protest
Bush tomorrow in Paris!
