Audio from Anti-War Protest in San Diego September 24, 2005

On Sept. 24, 2005 a bunch of San Diegans took to the streets to denounce the war in Iraq. I went and collected a few individual statements from a few people who were there.
Mohammad was there to bring awareness to 9/11,
staff SGT. Lewis US Army, Ret. who said that this administration "is a joke" and was happy to say "G.O.P stands for 'GawdAwful Oxymoronic Policies'",
Ricardo made a sutble point about the oddity of "protesting for peace",
Pablo Paredes clarifies what Bush meant when he said "freedom is on the march",
Jamal Kanj, who inflamed some members of the gathering by suggesting that the motivating force to begin and continue the war in Iraq came more from Israel than the United States, elaborated his point with me. I asked him about the arrest of British Intellegence agents which had happened earlier that week.
Robert was eager to say that Bush is a failure,
"us teenagers" came on and said "Bush: ugh, No, Blah."

Ralph shows his solidarity.
Scott breaks down the the same tactics they try to use the same old stuff, "same shit, different day"
I also caught up w/ a "counter protester" who was there to thank our troops for serving in Iraq.

The most succint and eloquent person i spoke w/ was a guy who identified himself as Peter Lucas of El Cajon, who said that he tries to be what he wishes to see in the world, so he tries to "be peace".
