This is the first big demonstration organized in Italy against war and for peace." -"A mounting peace wave is sweeping Europe and it can counter that in favor of war." ROME (AFP): Italian peace activists thronged the streets of Rome on Saturday marching against a looming war in Iraq, challenging Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's support for belligerent US threats against Saddam Hussein. Organizers said they had brought together 100,000 people, but police gave no official figures for the demonstration, which wound its way from Rome's Coliseum to the Piazza del Popolo through the historic old city. "Our ambition is to help build a new peace movement. This is the first big demonstration organized in Italy against war and for peace," Communist Renewal party secretary general Fausto Bertinotti said, heading up the cortege. "A mounting peace wave is sweeping Europe and it can counter that in favor of war," Titti de Simone, a legislator with the party said, in an allusion to another large peace demonstration under way in London on Saturday. Berlusconi on Wednesday offered his support to the United States in its drive against Iraq, but told legislators he also favored a new tough UN resolution threatening the use of force against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
