On Monday, they staged a protest to deliver petitions to the White House. On Wednesday, they did the virtual equivalent at the White House online.

Antiwar protesters seeking to increase pressure on President Obama to pull back from the war in Afghanistan took to Facebook to scrawl antiwar messages on the White House wall -- Facebook wall, that is, where any member of the public can leave a message -- in a "Friendly Takeover."

The group Peace Action West and the Peace Education Fund launched the protest Monday. By Wednesday afternoon, the eighth anniversary of the start of the invasion, those clicking on the "Just Fans" tab on the wall were treated to a stream of antiwar messages.
