Tensof thousands of protesters across the world have taken part in a
day ofprotests demanding the withdrawal of US and British troops from
Iraqand Afghanistan.
The World Against War action was organised to mark the fifth
anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq on March 20.
InLondon, police said that 10,000 activists had rallied at
TrafalgarSquare before marching the short distance to parliament.
Organiserssaid that between 30,000 and 40,000 people had gathered.
Aspokesman for The Stop The War coalition said that five years after
theinvasion of Iraq, military action had only managed to make the
world "amuch more dangerous place".
"Estimates suggest as many as onemillion people have died violent
deaths as a result of the occupationof Iraq," Paul Collins said.
He said that Gordon Brown,Britain's prime minister, was sending more
troops to Afghanistan andclaimed "this hidden war is fast becoming a
disaster mirroring Iraq".
Demonstratorsoutside parliament waved placards which said "Troops out
of Iraq andAfghanistan", "Don't attack Iran" and "Freedom for Palestine".
'War crimes'
CarolineLucas, the Green Party's member of the European Parliament,
called forTony Blair, the former British prime minister, and Gordon
Brown to beprosecuted for war crimes.
"They need to know you cannot bomb your way to peace," she said.

Caroline Lucas,
UK Green Party's member of the European ParliamentTony Benn, a former
Labour Party minister,said that Britain's involvement in Iraq, where
the country has 4,100troops, and Afghanistan, where it has 7,800, had
caused "devastation".
But Britain's foreign office disputed Stop the War's conclusions.
"In Iraq, there is clear evidence we are making steady progress,
particularly in terms of security," a spokesman said.
"In Afghanistan, Nato forces are winning the struggle against the
Taliban."
Elsewherein Europe, around 500 people opposed to the US presence in
Iraq marchedthrough Stockholm city centre in freezing rain carrying
banners withmessages including "Yankees Go Home" and "Five years of
war, onemillion dead."
"I'm here because I think it is extremelyimportant to demonstrate
against American policy in Iraq, especiallynow that the media is
focusing less on the tragedy there," LeifStaalhammer, a 67-year-old
actor, said.
'Sorrow and anguish'
InLos Angeles, organisers said that up to 10,000 people took to
thestreets of Hollywood, many carrying banners denouncing George Bush,
theUS president, and calling for an end to the conflict.
Police said that around 2,000 protesters had turned out for the rally.
Ron Kovic, a Vietnam war veteran whose book Born on the Fourth of July
was turned into a film with Tom Cruise, joined the march down
Hollywood Boulevard in his wheelchair.
Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic said he felt
"sorrow" for Iraqis and US troops [AFP] Shotand paralysed in Vietnam
40 years ago, Kovic told the AFP news agencythat he felt "sorrow" and
"anguish" for the Iraqi people and for the UStroops "who are
suffering, who are losing their arms and legs, who arebeing killed".
"But I feel more than anything, when I see what'sgoing on in Iraq, I
feel determined, determined to fight witheverything within us to stop
this madness," he said.
The marchended on Sunset Boulevard where organisers said that they
hoped severalCalifornia politicians and actors would join the
demonstrators.
"We'vebeen in the war for five years, right now we're about to be in
arecession, and trillions of our dollars are going to a war we
don'twant to be in," one protestor told the crowd.
Demonstrationsalso took place Saturday across Canada, including in
Toronto, where1,000 people protested against parliament's decision
last week toextend Canada's 2,500-strong deployment to Afghanistan.
Christine Jones, co-chairwoman of the Canadian Peace Alliance, said
parliament's vote on Afghanistan was misguided.
"Afghanistan is worse off because of the military
occupation and Canadians are more opposed to the war than ever before,"
she said.
