"Although publicly I continued to ignore the raging anti-war controversy … I knew, however, that after all the protests and the Moratorium [the nationwide protests of October 1969] American public opinion would be seriously divided by any military escalation of the war."
--The Nixon Memoirs

With the Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq, protests against the continual occupation sprung up all over the United States. In a somewhat dramatic example, the protest in San Francisco California had conflicts with the police and 140 people were arrested.The UpTake's Schlomo Rabinowitz was there to capture it all.

In Boston, Chicago, Jonesborough, Tennessee, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle, people from all walks of life will join together to express their anti-war sentiments and to call for an immediate end to the conflict in Iraq.

A veteran of the Iraq war is accusing the military of trying to stifle the freedom of speech he volunteered to fight to protect.

After serving his country in Iraq, grew disillusioned with US involvement there and became an anti-war activist. He participated in demonstrations around Washington, including Operation First Casualty, which was organized by Iraq Veterans Against the War in March.
