War

Protesters Rally Against War

Last Saturday, was the seven year "anniversary" of the War in Iraq. Protesters are frustrated with the lack of progress overseas. They marched from Hillcrest to Balboa and spoke out against the war. People held cardboard coffins to represent the nation's capitol. The U.S. says that they will pull troops out of Iraq in 2011. That means that the war will end in only 2 years! That isn't that long from now if you think that 7 years ago the war started, and it seems like it wasn't that long ago.
