Apparently the rally was anti-war but violent with bombs and such being thrown? Hmm I am not sure I would call this anti-war? I think the term anti-(U.S., Britain, Italian) would be more appropriate.
The streets were filled with a whole lotta Peace and Love.
ATHENS, Greece -- Demonstrations against the war in Iraq turned violent Wednesday as protesters clashed with police, torched banks and smashed shopfronts in central Athens near the site where EU leaders are meeting.
Disagreements over the conflict are likely to overshadow proceedings inside the meeting too, where the heads of all 15 European Union members are meeting to formally welcome 10 more nations -- mainly from central and eastern Europe.
The street violence erupted after hundreds of demonstrators attempted to break through police lines in Syntagma Square, hundreds of meters from the EU summit, news agencies reported.
Police fired tear gas into the crowd after protesters set fire to bank buildings and smashed the windows of stores and vehicles.
