Across Europe, tens of thousands of protesters also packed streets and public parks to protest the war. In England, 45,000 people marched from London’s Hyde Park past the American Embassy to Trafalgar Square, while an estimated 15,000 people — some carrying signs reading “Murderer Bush, get out” — marched in Turkey.
