Summary

Description

I am walking around the Washington Mall in the morning.

The previous day had been a major mobilization against the two-year-old war in Iraq, which was already costing the US dearly in money and lives. The previous month had seen Cindy Sheehan, the mother of Casey Sheehan who had died while serving in Iraq, make the headlines by doing her vigil outside President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Veterans for Peace was one of many organizations that had taken part in the mobilization. It seeks the impeachment of President Bush, as the justifications he had given for the invasion of Iraq were not satisfactory.

I was not part of the mobilization. However, I did arrive late the previous night, partly for some business in Virginia, and partly to meet some friends, many of whom had been involved in the mobilization.
