Rome hosted one of the largest demonstrations on the global day of action against a US-led invasion of Iraq. Organizers estimated three million people, while estimates varied widely. The march linked peace groups, trade unions, Catholic organizations, social centers and international networks. Protesters challenged the invasion and Italyโ€™s alignment with it, placing military power and the interests behind war at issue. Media accounts often emphasized crowd size over the arguments voiced by participants.
