A group marches for peace down Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls. About two dozen participated in the peace march, organized by two Niagara Falls High School girls.


Lockport's Chuck Richardson marches with a sign stating "Patriots for Peace."


Sarahe Gorashi, one of the organizers of the march, speaks out against a war on Iraq.


About two dozen onlookers listen as marchers take turns explaining their objection to the war.

We sang this as we marched (or, we tried to sing it at least):

If you're happy and you know it bomb Iraq, by John Robbins


If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq
If the terrorists are frisky, Pakistan is looking shifty, North Korea is too risky, bomb Iraq

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq
So to hell with the inspections, let's look tough for the elections, close your mind and take directions, bomb Iraq

It's pre-emptive non-agression, bomb Iraq
To prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq
They've got weapons we can't see, and that's all the proof we need. If they're not there, they must be there, bomb Iraq

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq
If you think Saddam's gone mad, with the weapons that he had, and he tried to kill your dad, bomb Iraq

If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq
If your ties to it are showing, bomb Iraq
If you politics are sleazy, and hidin' it's not easy, and your manhood's gettin' queasy, bomb Iraq

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq
Disagree? We'll call it treason. Let's make war, not love this season. Even if we have no reason, bomb Iraq
