Anti-war rally
Marie Roe, 7, holds up a protest sign during an anti-war rally in
front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Jan. 27. The rally drew tens
of thousands, including members of Pax Christi and other Catholic
peace and social justice groups. Several thousands also marched in
San Francisco. Both demonstrations were in response to President George
W. Bush’s planned escalation of troop levels in Iraq. CNS PHOTO/NANCY WIECHEC
