No kidding. Thousands are marching, city to city, state to
state, throughout the U.S., to protest the Iraq War:
There were rallies in a dozen cities, with the biggest crowds in New
York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
The "National Day of Action" was initiated by the United for Peace
and Justice (UFPJ) coalition (which we link to often).
There were about 10,000 people in the Chicago march, and even more
than that in San Francisco.

There is even a website that was put up for yesterday's protests
nationwide: oct27.org. It helped organize protests in
Boston, Jonesborough, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Salt
Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, and more.
On their site, they say that there were at least 100,000 who
participated in marches and demonstrations against the war
yesterday.
There is a lot more coverage on that site, where people are posting
their own pictures and YouTube video clips of the events that took place
yesterday. Here's one from Seattle:
This is why I love Google News: This stuff actually
makes the front page (as it should when 100,000 people
participate!). One of the people who witnessed around 200 people
gathered for the cause in L.A. complained today that the L.A. Times put a small blurb
about it only, in the California section under a Bad Air article.
