Thousands join Seattle march against war

Thousands of people from all over the Pacific Northwest marched boisterously against the Iraq war in Seattle today.

A small group of Iraq war veterans took a lead role at the front of the march, which was swelled by peace groups from Washington and Oregon.

Chanan Suarezdiaz, 25, a Navy medic wounded while supporting the Marine Corps in Ramadi, Iraq, spoke from the stage at the main rallying point in Occidental Park, which was filled by the crowd.

"This is a racist war of oppression," said Suarezdiaz. "This is a war for profit."

At his prompting, protesters raised their fists in the air "in solidarity with the Iraqi people."

At the front of the demonstration, protesters stood a tightly packed 30-abreast as they marched down Jackson Street toward Pioneer Square from the initial rallying point at Judkins Park.
