Vigils Are Held Around the World to Oppose Military Action

Anti-war protestors utilized the internet to organize vigils around the world on Sunday night. In almost 140 countries, people came together to protest an impending US-led military action against Iraq, all at 7:00pm in their local time. In major cities and small towns of the US, the mostly silent vigils provided thousands of protestors with the opportunity to protest the Bush Administration's war plans and vent their feelings of disenfranchisement. Several recent anti-war rallies around the globe have also been organized mainly over the internet. – YaleGlobal
