The LA Times today buried the story about the DC anti-war rally on page 17, but there was a front page lead-in panel featuring a Reuters photograph of an 8-year old girl on her father's shoulders. With the Washington monument looming in the background, the young girl hoists her sign saying "No War!"

Huge March Protests Bush Stance on Iraq

More than 100,000 antiwar demonstrators turn out at the White House, and thousands more dissent in San Francisco and Europe.

Washington - More than 100,000 demonstrators marched around the White House on Saturday to protest, peacefully but loudly, President Bush's plan to use military force in Iraq.

They carried signs bearing slogans such as "Regime Change Begins at Home" and "No More Blood for Oil." Another popular placard scorned the administration's war talk as "A Weapon of Mass Distraction." Organizers said it was the largest antiwar rally in the nation's capital since the Vietnam War.

Earlier in the week, they had worried that the Washington-area sniper would scare away protesters. But as the crowd swelled throughout the afternoon under a sunny sky, they said as many as 200,000 had come.

Worldwide, similar demonstrations drew crowds of thousands...

The San Francisco rally drew an estimated 42,000 demonstrators...

When the march was over, Eve Lieberman, 93, a tiny woman in a small wheelchair who has been an activist since the 1930's voiced satisfaction in the turnout.

"So many homemade signs," she mused. "This wasn't the work of large organizations. It was really an outburst of people's sentiment."
