MIAMI
About 600 protesters gathered at a demonstration outside a college campus while President George W. Bush gave the commencement speech at the school Saturday afternoon.

People opposed to the president's policies and the war in Iraq gathered along a main avenue at the Kendall Campus of Miami Dade College.

"I want to do anything I can to bring the war to an end," said one of the protesters, 55-year-old Thomas Kreycik, a mental health counselor. "We are throwing away money, we are throwing away the lives of our troops for no justifiable reason."

Passing drivers honked their horns in solidarity with the protesters and many stopped to pick up pamphlets. Many children attended with their families and a dog owner dressed his pooch, Barney, in an anti-Bush shirt. People beat drums, tapped tambourines and chanted "I didn't become a citizen to help Bush mess it up."

Police stood relaxed next to protesters or behind temporary fences. Officers declined to estimate the size of the crowd.
